I have heard this phrase for a long period in my life and to my amazment, have had to explain it to several folks lately. Does the word "Sailcat" mean anything to anyone. this is not a Kentucky term BTW.

A sailcat is the poor animal (cat) that has gotten squashed and lies along side the highway. It's so dried up and flat you can sail it (like a frisbee). One of my favorite sayings is, "you have the memory of a sailcat" which is zero by the way for those keeping a tally. I posted this on another board and pretty much got the same response.

Yes, I know this phrase. When I lived in Dayton, there was a guy who played guitar and sang at one of the historic district bars-he used to sing a song called "Sailcat". It was pretty funny.  |

You know, I think it depends on the degree of freshness of the kill as to whether it's road kill or a sail cat.  If it's flat, it's probably a sailcat. |
