Hahahahahahaha!
This is great!
Southerners have many phrases which are colorful and somewhat odd.
"Busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest," "Ugly as a mud fence" and "Bless his/her heart" all immediately come to mind.
None have the twisted power of Passion's explanation, though. That was just awesome!

Never Heard That One Before and Glad Passion Explained
A comedian George Wallace said that people say stupid things and often expect the listen to know exactly what is meant!! This would fall under that category. Nice post!

I think this is the origin of the saying, "how the cow ate the cabbage"-
Once upon a time, cows only ate green grass and foliage. But a drought caused all the grass to die.
So all the farmers were like..."OMG! Our cows are gonna starve. What shall we do?"
An old lady by the name of "The Widow Murray" piped up at the town meeting and said, "Um, boys, I got a whole field full of cabbage and no one to eat it, so how about we try feeding the cows my cabbage."
So the stubborn old fart said, "No way! There's no way cows will eat cabbage."
But the town mayor said, "Why don't we at least give it a try."
So the next day, some townspeople gathered at "The Widow Murray's" farm and harvested her cabbage and took it around to some of the neighboring farms. They each tried to get the cows to eat the cabbage but those heifers would have nothing to do with it.
The stubborn old fart stuck out his tongue and said, "Told you so!"
But "The Widow Murray" rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and answered back, "Hey asshole! Maybe they just don't like it raw."
So the women of the town got together and started fixing cabbage every way they knew how. They would boil it and bake it with cheese on top and sun dry it. Finally, after weeks of trying many recipes, they stumbled onto one that worked.
Mrs. Colson minced the cabbagge and put it in her food processor along with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Then she sprinkled pine nuts on top and baked it at 450 degrees.
All the cows loved the cabbage fixed this way. They ate and ate and ate and soon got fat again and were shortly thereafter shipped off to a slaughter house where they were clubbed to death, cut into many pieces and sold at the local meat market.
