People used to believe warts could be cured by rubbing a potato on them and then burying the potato. They believed that as the potato rot, the wart disappeared too.

A THEORETICAL HEART WART refers to a person who induces great heart ache; the only cure for this suffering is to take your association with them and bury it.
