Panther piss is probably a derogatory reference to Black Panthers, FYI.
e: given the context of Hulk Hogan lately though it's on point.
Well slap my titties I did not know that.
I heard that from my grandfather many years ago, and in his defense, he probably wasn't using it derogatorily towards anyone either. Well, except Coors anyway. He was a lot of things, some of them bad, but racist he certainly was not.
A lot of people, mainly from older generations but not exclusively by any means, hear something and use it in the context they learned it without questioning where it came from. You may have heard a boomer say a variation of "jewed out of" for instance, or you yourself might have said "gypped". I question every older phrase at this point, some are fine but some aren't things I want to say.
