For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.“ Etymologists think this is probably how we got the word dukes used to refer to fists, as in "put up your dukes." Fork was slang for "hand" or "fist," and the phrase "dukes of York" was created as rhyming slang for "fork." So, instead of telling someone to "put up your forks," you might say "put up your dukes of York!" Eventually, this was shortened to "put up your dukes."
