Happy as a mud lark came from where?
I have two theories: A mudlark is a bird that could be found foraging on the banks of the River Thames in Victorian London, when the river was heavily polluted. Presumably they could have looked happy whilst foraging. A mudlark is also the name given to someone who works or spends time in mud, like a street urchin playing. As lark can also mean play as in "to lark about" this seems reasonable. We've all seen little boys who are happiest when getting themselves dirty. So maybe it is a parallel to the expression "happy as a pig in muck" There is some evidence that the bird was named after this definition of mudlark, rather than vice versa. I don't know if either are 100% true, but they do make sense
