: : I'm looking for "...as common as pig tracks..." Any clues out there?

: I've read that expression a couple of times recently -- once in a novel about Texas and once in a book of Southern expressions. I don't know the origin. But it means lower class, uncouth, ill mannered.

: Many thanks. You just settled a bet with a fellow Texan. He thinks it means "butt ugly" but I maintain it means "white trash".
