I only recently learned that the yahoos were from Gulliver's Travels. Inquiring minds want to know so I looked it up:
Swift describes Yahoos as filthy with unpleasant habits, "a brute in human form," resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver. He finds the calm and rational society of intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms, greatly preferable.
Ain't it so, sometimes.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
