: What is the origin and meaning of:
: "I wouldn't have a bar of him."

This is a guess. "Bar" is a U.S. Southern/country word for "barrow." Barrow can mean mound or short for wheelbarrow/wheelbar/garden cart. So the phrase could mean: I wouldn't take a wheelbarrow of him if they were giving him away free. Again, just a guess.
