Here's a variant of a phrase that's familiar to many African-Americans, but virtually unknown to most others: "I'm so broke I couldn't buy a louse a wrestling jacket." What's its meaning and origin? It's also heard "buy a flea a wrestling jacket" or "buy a mosquito a wrestling jacket." This is part of a complete episode.
