The phrase "grow like Topsy" originates from Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." In the book, Topsy is a character who grows up as a slave and is described as having grown "like Topsy," implying her growth was unplanned and chaotic, much like a weed. The phrase is now commonly used to describe something that grows or increases rapidly and uncontrollably.
