Can't Swing A Dead Cat.
When you live in such a small town that you run into someone you know EVERY time you go out. Short for "you can't
swing a dead cat by
the tail without hitting 2 people you know." Basically means you live in too small a town. In gestured form is done by a
circling of one hand in the air like a lassoing action.
I went out to eat with my friends and the
waitress comes over and says, "
hay, I went to high school with you." My friend says, "you can't
swing a dead cat."
