Someone in a youtube video comments section stated "selling soap" is a slang term, an idiomatic phrase that means to either do something illicitly "like sell drugs" or to manipulate someone. Can anyone find a source on this? I looked it up on the interent, could not find anything. It may be something really really old, like "in a pig's eye," which my decrepit, miserly grandmother used to say.
