: Ok I found out that the phrase "Off your trolly" originated in Toronto Canada. The old Queen Street "Trolly stop" was just at the fork in the road where the Provincial Lunatic Asylum existed (As it was then named) so the reference is an obvious one.

Perhaps it's not relevant, but maps.google.com doesn't show any "fork in the road" in that vicinity (1001 Queen St W, Toronto, Toronto Division, Ontario, Canada) in the current day. It appears that they have torn down the original historic 1850 building, so I suppose it's possible that the street layout has changed as well.
