Russian racehorses, Cooter Brown

[Dennis R. Preston]

"Piss like a racehorse" is at least as widespread as my Louisville
upbringing (but they were not Russian), and there was the alternative "Piss
like a thoroughbred."

We were drunker than lords, skunks, and lots of other things, but never
Cooter Brown.
