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"
