house cat

A seldom used insult, favored by hoodlums, comparing and individual to a domesticated "pet" cat as opposed to a stray cat, big cat, or wild cat, how ever stray cat can also be used as an insult. It is a play off the term "cat" used simply to refer to an individual.

The phrase "house cat" is typically directed towards those who lack street smarts, criminal affectation, or who other wise appear uncomfortable or out of place when confronted. The origin is unknown but it was likely first used from any where as early as the 1940s. It's popularity peaked in the 1970s and fell from use nearly entirely by the 1990s.

sale cat

Sale cat is a game played my many Midwest farmers. The players wait for a cat to die in the field. The cat will then bend and harden into the shape of a boomerang. The objective of the game is to throw the sail cat as far as possible. The trick is to throw it the right way so I doesn’t come back like a boomerang.

My cat ate it

Sounds like an excuse from the 80's for why a kid didn't have their homework done on time, but if you're talking about why a houseplant is no longer with you, sometimes it's true.

Girl- Why is your houseplant dead? Were you too high to notice it needed water?

Guy- My cat ate it smartass.
