Another variation of this phrase is "Let the Rough Side Drag", which means the same thing.

Joan: I've invited Robert and Kathy to the party, but they don't get along and I don't know what to do.
Sarah: You can't account for everything. Just invite everyone who might want to come, tell them who else you've invited, and "let the rough end drag". They can sort out their own personal relationships; that shouldn't be your problem.
