It can also be counterproductive to throw a

Just out of curiosity: What happens if you do? It eats all the eggs?

I have no idea!  It just popped into my head as an attempt to convey
throwing a totally unrelated idea into the mix and I liked the turn of
the
phrase; hedgehogs might be a chicken's best friend for all I know! :)

It's a good one, though - I actually pictured a porcupiney-thing being
thrown
into a chicken coop.

Sounds like one of those southern aphorsisms, like "deer caught in
headlights"
(which, BTW, has gotten widespread use)  It puts such a picture in your
mind.

Oh man, here are the one's that consider themselves to be of superior
intellectual capabilities because they are not from the South.  Hey Banty,
you are one of those aren't you.  The smugness and haughtiness always
reveals itself after a certain amount of jabbering.

Let's see Banty, you think anytime someone says anything about an animal
they are from the South. The ignorance that has been fed to many of you
through the years becomes reality for you and you actually believe that
everyone in the South drives a pickup truck, chews tobacco, hunts and
kills animals, beat their wives, abuse their children, and says ain't
three thousand times a day.

??? What in the Sam Hill are you talkin' 'bout, boy?

I reckon that y'all don't have Southern roots runnin' real deep, hon,
because this kind of leap in logic is, well, jes' plain addled.
Southern colloquialisms and expressions are celebrated throughout the
English-speaking world because they're so poetic, so colorful, so...
right as rain. I know -- I grew up in Tennessee, talkin' like that, and
I still use those expressions when I write. At work. Professionally.
Even Southerners lay claim to some colloquialisms that we can 'pert
near trace the origin to other regions of the country.

There's in no way any connection between a person's believing that a
colorful turn of phrase originated in South and that person's
subscribing to a host of unattractive stereotypes about the region that
you were so eager to trot out for us.

Iffen you don't watch it, sugar, folks'll soon be talkin' 'bout li'l
ol' Alt like this: He's just kinda feeble-minded, bless his heart.

aina hey?)
