RE: Nerd By Northwest #310 – “Trojan Pig”

[northwestnomad]

That's an expression I've never heard... "making a pig's ear of something". Is that an exclusively British idiom? Closest I've heard to that was from an old Buck Roger's TV episode where Twiki says "in a pig's eye" as a response to some random bad guy. There's a fair number of British expats here in Mongolia... who knows when this slang could come in useful... 😉

It may come from the expression that you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. One of those old phrases that sticks around.
