the first time I ever heard that term was on the radio, 25 odd years ago, when the DJ went on a riff about something I don't even recall in reference to the song that just ended and he finished it off with "and that's when you get your beans picked, brother". I howled with laughter at the time and have never forgotten it since.

It is funny because our friend is a very devout Catholic, (Peruvian Japanese) and she loves the place.
