Shadowtalk idiom describing an unknown quality. For example "As big as a weasel" implies that the speaker has absolutely no idea what size the given object is.

Etymology: When the phrase Like a weasel started to spread from shadowtalk into mainstream slang, many people wanting to be fashionable independently coined the phrase "As big as a weasel", indicating that they have "absolutely no idea how the culture has developed" (in the words of Langits Callen, on the echo History:Weapons:Party). The alternate meaning then came into general use through the often incomprehensible speech of moronic racial stereotype Corporal Wiss, in the TV series Popular Action.
