When the old dudes asked/complained about their various maladies, they said:
"(Iv'e got/He's got) all the ailments, like an old jew-cow."
"Alle Leiden, wie 'ne alte Judenkuh."
These were farmers and the proverb was about the fact that if you bought a cow from a jew, it likely was disease-ridden and older than they let on.
Of course you won't find this in any internet search engines nowadays. True nonetheless and the older folk round here still know it.
Just sad to see such knowledge, that was verbally transferred over generations, vanish and die in woke world.
Well now you know and can keep it alive.
Edit: Ol' grandpa webrustler would be proud of y'all!
