Hi all. I got a question about this idiom. I think someone says it to booast what he/she has just done. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me the origin of this idiom, as in why apples?
many thanks
how do u like them apples?

Hi Darren
You're right about the meaning. As for the origin, who knows, but my imagination tells me that it originated from a farmer - an apple farmer - an apple farmer from Texas (hence 'them apples' instead of those apples).
Does that sound about right?
