Willy picks a tune up and throws it on the huff

The story:

It was Thanksgiving and I was in the kitchen blasting CCR and singing at the top of my lungs. My friend Sue heard "Down on the Corner" come on and rushed to the kitchen to hear what I was going to say, because everyone knows you can't understand a word John Fogerty says. Just as she reached the doorway, I sang, "WILLY PICKS A TUNE UP AND THROWS IT ON THE HUFF." She immediately wanted to know what, exactly, the "huff" was. Naturally, I had no idea. I'd just been singing it that way for years. After that it became a saying for moving on: "Aw, just throw it on the huff and find someone else to go out with."
