"You can't swing a dead cat without hitting [whatever]."

I said this once and an Egyptian guy I worked with was appalled! It's a way of expressing that you are being overrun with something, usually something unwelcome.

I have never swung, and will never, actually SWING, a dead cat -the idea makes me wince - and I still use the term from time to time.
