    — The Rolling Stones cut a record called “Mother’s Little Helpers.’[’] An innocuous title? You bet it was, but the lyrics revealed that “Mother’s Little Helpers” are the “upsies and downsies” that mom takes to get her through the day. The “upsies” are the pep pills she takes when she wakes up and the “downsies” are the tranquilizers she takes before going to bed.

词源
