Mainly because no one actually knows what the tosh that means....


It goes back to when people didnt rush out and buy new clothes, they had to mend and make do.
When you got a tiny bit of loose stitching in your britches, it was better to stitch it with just the one stitch needed, else you'd end up with a whole rip before you knew it, thus had to either have a big job of stitching lots, or worse go out and buy new britches.
It's basically saying the same as "nip it in the bud", so that proverb I actually tend to agree with.

That sound you hear is a great weight being lifted...Ta!
