Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
Keep your cotton picking hands off my flowers!
You've got to clean up your room, son, this is a cotton-picking mess!
cotton picking = worthless, crude, common, messy
When May and Mary went screaming and running crazily down the street, dad muttered, "You two are out of your cotton-picking minds.
be out one’s cotton picking mind = to say someone is crazy, a fool
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
