But yesterday put the icing on the cake.  My mom (who is 70 Arkansan) said something yesterday I have never heard and hope someone can help me understand this.  She was talking about someone a friend of her's knew, and she said, "Of course, I wouldn't know her from Adam's off ox."  Now, tell me, who is Adam and what in the world is an off ox???

I have never heard of "Adam's off ox" but have heard and use "Adam's house cat".  It basically means that you would not know the person from any other face in a crowd.  I never heard who Adam is but ever since I was a very little girl I always pictured Adam as Adam and Eve.
