    Etymology[edit]



    • from the proverb "After the Lord Mayor's show comes the dust-cart" (or "donkey-cart", or "s**t-cart"). Bringing up the rear of the Lord Mayor's Show is a team to clean the manure of the pageant's horses.


    <dl><dd>1864 George Waters, Indian gleanings and thoughts of the past p.154 (G.H. Windeyer, Chatham):

    • as is usual on all such occasions, after gaiety comes squalor; or, as we observe in respect to the annual pageant of the City of London that "after the Lord Mayor's Show comes a,—donkey-cart,"


    </dd></dl>

    Phrase[edit]


    after the Lord Mayor's show



    1. (idiomatic) Said of a disappointing or mundane event occurring straight after an excitingmagnificent, or triumphal event.  []
