None of the above. Actually, it's from the frontiersmen going months without women who were so desperate they did it alone in the woods and wiped off with leaves. Historical aside: The occasions they accidently reached for poison ivy gave us some of the more colorful curse phrases in the language.

"Green Weenie" is a home grown cliche that goes back to my college days. One morning I was really starving and all I could find was a little shriveled up Oscar Meyer dog, been there for ages, a little green weenie. Then I discovered that someone had emptied my wallet so there'd be no shopping for food. There'd been a party the night before so I called all the suspects. Each time I got to the green weenie part, they'd bust up laughing. Never did get anything to eat that day. For the rest of my college experience, any totally devastating day or the worse luck imaginable to anyone, was considered "getting the green weenie." Sometimes it's the only way to describe a really crummy situation. So I'll pick number 2 with the above amplification. DuGen
