v. phr.— «My old man referred to it as peeing in the pickles. Only he used a different word. I never got the connection but I knew he meant taking your eye off the ball. Or in Tony Stewart’s (7-1) case not paying attention to his driving while turning left at 190 MPH.» —“Texas Motor Speedway preview” by NASCAR Jack Covers.com Nov. 4, 2006.
