I think the expression is meant as - Otherwise it's too hard.

"Legs of chairs and pump handles." My grandmother's favourite saying if you asked her what was for dinner.

I have absolutely no idea, Kopes - and I don't think grandma knew either. I guess it was just a silly saying passed down through the family. My MIL's equivalent expression was "Bread and duck." (as in duck under the table.)

My dad had either heard of, or invented hinself, a character whose name was Rum-Tum-Apajoalla-Fistifyandigo. If we ever asked about him - who he was etc. - all dad would say was "He was the man who shot the wooden cuckoo."

His full name - on really special occasions - was Astadiabolo-Sacramento-Presti-Preswick-Rum-Tum-Apajoalla-Fistifyandigo.
