Do you have a little Cajun in you? The old Cajuns were known for using every scrap of every thing! My grandmother's family would say, "you've found a use for the squeal." When Cajuns butchered, they used every bit of the pig (or whatever) except the squeal. So they said this when someone found a way to use up a "useless" item. It was a big compliment for someone to say it.
