I have no idea of where it came from. A quick Google search does not reveal anyting.

In England we might say that someone "Has bats in the belfrey" but this is more usually replaced in France by the expression "He has spiders on the ceiling"....
Does anyone have any more examples that are unique to a nationality? And why?

In many parts of the world (including my local river estuary) you can always tell the professional inshore fishermen and oystermen from the yachtees by their respective rowing techniques. Yachtees (nb - slightly derogatory) always row with two oars, professionals will scull with one oar. I'm proud to say I learnt to scull many years ago when I lived on the river. The method is very efficient for propelling a heavy laden skiff as you can use body weight to aid propulsion.
There is a description here http:/
Good Luck

Oh Well!
RE: the one how doesn't have both oars in the water
Rowing: two oars in the water, operated more or less simultaneously. Most rowers face to the rear as they row. A few face forward. Old Cajuns used to face forward and stand as they rowed their heavy cypress skiffs in the bayous of Louisiana. Large oars may be handled by one or more persons each. Loss of an oar leaves a boat in a bad way, although a thinking boatman can use the remaining oar as a sweep for sculling.
Sculling involves one oar, actually termed a "sweep", in the stern of the boat. This sweep is moved from side to side.
Paddling involves the use of a paddle, differently shaped from an oar, usually much shorter, operated by one person. Boats suitable for propulsion by paddling are usually narrow, like canoes or pirogues. More than one person may paddle a boat at a time. Lose your paddle, and "you're up a creek without a paddle." That's only slightly better than rowing with one oar...
I've never seen more than one person scull.
