6. Darby and Joan n. a jocose appellation for an attached husband and wife who are ‘all in all to each other’, especially in advanced years and in humble life. Hence in dialect, a pair of china figures, male and female, for the chimney-piece. Hence Darby-and-Joan v. Darby-and-Joanish adj. Darby and Joan club n. a club for elderly men and women.The Gentl. Mag. (1735) V. 153 has under the title ‘The joys of love never forgot: a song’, a mediocre copy of verses, beginning ‘Dear Chloe, while thus beyond measure, You treat me with doubt and disdain’, and continuing in the third stanza ‘Old Darby, with Joan by his side, You've often regarded with wonder: He's dropsical, she is sore-eyed, Yet they're never happy asunder’. This has usually been considered the source of the names, and various conjectures have been made, both as to the author, and as to the identity of ‘Darby and Joan’, but with no valid results. It is possible that the names go back to some earlier piece, and as Darby is not a common English surname, it may have originated in a real person. There is also a well-known 19th cent. song of the name.
