First heard in military in early 70’s, USMC boot camp. I had hurt my leg during an exercise and approached a DI to report the injury. He looked at me while rubbing his thumb and index together and said, “Private you know what this is?“ (Moving his index finger and thumb while still rubbing them together in front of my eyes), I said, “Sir, no Sir”. The Drill Instructor then said, “Private!, This is the WORLDS SMALLEST RECORD PLAYER, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S PLAYING?”. I said, “Sir No Sir, The Private does not know what the worlds smallest record player is playing Sir”. The DI then said, “PRIVATE MAXWELL, IT’S PLAYING MY HEART IS BLEEDING PURPLE PANTHER PI_S BECAUSE I’M SO CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR F___KING LEG INJURY!”. And that was the first time I heard this phrase. When I heard this at other times, the worlds smallest record player was the world’s smallest violin. What a fond memory it is. USMC boot camp was kinda like psycho town. In a good way. Brother, I know you hear me.

Where does piss in your pocket come from?

this can happen in a number of ways.... 1. you piss yourself after putting your trousers on wrong 2. someone thinks your pocket is the toilet 3. you live in france ---- I don't know why people answer these questions when they don't have a proper answer. I can't find the actual origin of the phrase, but I think it might come from the phrase "Don't piss in my pocket and tell me it's raining". This seems to mean a similar thing to "piss in your pocket". Both phrases mean that you're telling someone something that isn't true. Tanya. ----
