Civilization and Culture
History
Tookas were a type of small feline creature. The saying "tooka cat that ate the bulabird" referred to a person who appeared self-satisfied or smug. The saying "a took got your tongue?" was used to encourage someone who was being unusually quiet, to speak out. "Look what the tooka dragged in" was used to call attention to someone who had entered an area, while "the tooka's out of the bag" meant that a secret had become known.
