Lipsed of voyse, and limpe of wriste eek.
Ful wynsomme a crafty butcher was he,
We played heide thee sausage and I could not sitte downe for a weeke."
- Geoffrey Chaucer, Prologue to the Canterbury Tales

The term is coined from an old English expression and is used to describe someone who is homosexual.
It comes from the 1930's when shopkeepers had to pay the tax man at the front door of their shops when receiving stock to sell, whereas the "crafty butcher" would have his MEAT delivered to the BACK DOOR.
