Have you ever had to tell your boss how the cow ate the cabbage?

Well I just did and let me tell you something, it wasn't pretty but it was an adrenaline rush like hitting a big middle....

Or for you coupon clippers, finding a huge scalp...

"How the cow ate the cabbage” means to tell everything ("straight talk"), like the cow eats everything. Ann Richards (then Texas State Treasurer) used “how the cow ate the cabbage” in a speech before the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

“How the cow ate the cabbage” appears to be a thoroughly Texas phrase and is found in print from at least 1935.

Haven't had a boss since 1980. When he turned me down on a raise request and I gave him the dramatic two week notice, he told me I could leave right away.

I guess he told me how the cow ate the cabbage.
