Following on from my musings about 'having a shit', another phrase was uttered this morning which made me think -

I could understand saying "he had an arse like wind" for instance, but who coined this phrase first and why?

I dont believe its in my Brewers dictionary of phrase and fable, and I cant be arsed to look on tinternet.
