F' em and Feed them beans!?

My dad always say this and he says. (He's within his late 50's). I asked him roughly his origin and he said that his dad and relatives my late grandfather's age used this phrase closely back surrounded by the day.

Does anyone know the history of this wise saying and where it come from?
I've done some Internet searches and didn't find anything.

Obviously, the phrase imply that the person uttering it is going to do what they want, regardless of what naysayers imagine. Can anyone shed any light on this turn of phrase.


Answers:    I also be unable to find any entymology of it on the internet, although it is apparently a clich¨¦ that people bar your grandpa and dad have used because I see it within postings and blogs.

My best guess is that it refers to feeding someone beans instead of meat. I bet that your grandpa grew up contained by the Depression when meat was scarce, so to enunciate f*** him and feed him beans imply that others would be eating something better while the idea of that sentiment was intake beans. I wonder if it was a lyric contained by an old folk song or something similar to that.
Why is your father using such foul language within front of you?
