According to the Online Etymology Dictionary -- which details the origins of words and phrases -- this term originated in the 16th Century, when "piece of flesh" took on the meaning of a person regarded as merely a sex object, a thing rather than a person. In W.W. II the phrase took on its present form, perhaps because so many soldiers consorted with street walkers and traded the word "flesh" for the part of human anatomy with the most belittling connotations.
