Your mind?
I don't think it is a phrase is it?



There was a thoroughbred racehorse called Blalocks Bull if that's any help? Where did you hear the phrase?

Question Author
When I was a child in the 60's, my mother used this expression to describe something fast or maybe clumsy. "He came through here like Blalock's Bull(s)". My sister reminded me of the saying the other day because she heard a friend say it. I am from the South so maybe it was mostly used here.....
My dad, 73, was talking to me today about hearing the phrase "he came through here like Blalock's bull" when he was a child. He said he never knew what it meant. We now live about 100 miles from there and a coworker of his mentioned it in passing. So I do know the phrase is at least 65 years old and apparently known around the South.
