Feb 21, 2011 · Why is the wrestling term "cry uncle," and not aunt or anything else? There is no definitive history on the origin of the phrase, though there is plenty of speculation.
This phrase originated about 1900 as an imperative among school-children who would say, “Cry uncle when you've had enough (of a beating).” By the mid-1900s it was being used figuratively, as in the examples.
Cry Uncle!, based on the Michael Brett novel, "Lie a Little, Die a Little", follows the misadventures of a fat, hairy slob of a private eye named Jake Masters, who is hired to clear up a phony murder rap.
