Look up all the other examples I gave. Symbolism makes for a great deal of our sayings. And some, as I said, are outright offensive and aren't in use anymore. Such as "Ziegelböhms" (Brick maker Bohemians), which comes from the mid 19th century when lots of Bohemians flocked to Vienna to help create the Ringstraße. It's hardly in use anymore, but as opposed to Bosniak's ass, it's sometimes heard.
