插在棍子上的甜東西
這一組最貼近核心畫面：手抓棍子，甜的一頭在外面。差別只在棍子上放的是什麼。
noun · B1
A hard sweet made from boiled sugar, fixed on the end of a small stick, which you hold and lick or suck until it is gone.
棒棒糖
核心畫面
Picture a small stick with something sweet set on the end of it. You hold the stick, the sweet part stays out in front of your mouth, and your hand stays clean. Most uses of lolly can be hung on that one held-out treat. Change what sits on the stick and you move from meaning to meaning: boiled sugar gives you the hard sweet, frozen juice gives you the cold one. the picture, as speakers in Australia and New Zealand do, and the stick can drop away, so any small sugary thing counts. The joking money use sits further out; take it as a playful stretch of a treat word, not as proven history.

可以想成一根小棍子，前面插著一塊甜東西。你抓著棍子，甜的那一頭伸在外面，手不會黏也不會冰。lolly 的幾個意思大多可以掛在這個畫面上：棍子上換成煮硬的糖，就是棒棒糖；換成結冰的果汁，就是冰棒。澳洲和紐西蘭的人把畫面放寬，棍子可以不見，只要是小小一塊甜的都叫 lolly。至於拿 lolly 講「錢」，離這個畫面比較遠，就當成一種把甜頭拿來開玩笑的說法，不要當成字源上的證據。From the word’s history
The supplied Wiktionary entry records lolly as a clipping of lollypop. That fits the stick picture: the shortened name keeps the same object, and English later let the short form cover the frozen kind too.
資料裡記載 lolly 是 lollypop（棒棒糖）砍短來的。這條線索正好對上棍子的畫面：短名字指的還是同一樣東西，後來連結冰的那一種也一起收進來。

同一個畫面被放寬：棍子可以不見，只留下「小小一塊甜的」。
noun · B1
A sweet of any kind — a small piece of something sugary that you suck or chew. In Australia and New Zealand this is the ordinary everyday word for it, with or without a stick.
糖果
錢（老式的玩笑說法）
離甜點的畫面最遠的一支。把錢講成一種甜頭是教學上的聯想，不是資料證實的字源。
noun · B2
Money, especially money someone earns, has or spends. This is an old-fashioned, joking way of saying it, and it is uncountable, so there is no a lolly and no plural in this use.
