As I

used to use that expression too, so it wasn't just my friend, any idea
where
it came from (probably from someplace in the early 80's)?


From anyone who lived in a country that had cows. The phrase has been

My friend said it as if he were from the Soviet Union (he wasn't). But I'm

they had cows there... Me, I grew up in the city--what did I know about
cows? ; )
