A possum is
something at which you would usually refer to as a piece of s***. The term, piece of s***, is derived from POSsum. Being possums here in
Texas are such
nasty little rodents (well, they are in Houston =\), Possums are dubbed as a piece of s***.
"Hey check out that old computer sitting there in that pile of
trash. Tis such a possum."
"So this (computer) is a breakdown (to be disassembled)? Well then, grab that possum by its tail (by the
power cord) and load it in the
truck. :B"
