Methinks Wordy Bitch needs to pay more attention to the trash BEFORE she links it. Nowhere in that pile of manure did it tell where the phrase ORIGINATED. Even though the title leads you to believe it will. It instead cites a bunch of literary examples of where the reference is used. It however does not claim any of those as the "first" usage of it. In all likelihood no one knows for sure, because it probably was verbal and not recorded.
You know, there isn't a definitive answer for everything, D.
The article does point to two very likely possibilities though... swampy land and the fact that they eat frogs.
Like most people, I tend to think it's the frog eating thing... though they also eat snails and no one calls them 'snails'. As with many things in life, we just have to make educated guesses.
Jesus christ woman, you're fucking high today or something. Read the two statements in bold, and realize your fail.
Chill out D.
Does the phrase 'tongue in cheek' mean anything to you??
Ok, now get your mind out of the gutter and try again.
