Horse Collar

Ever since the NFL rule came into effect we have been hearing it at the youth level (NFHS Rules). We explain it at the beginning of the season in front of all the coaches, but it doesn't matter, it still becomes an issue. Recently we had a coach complain, so we sent an email to the heads of all of the organizations involved. There were a couple of replies, but none that could match the following from one of the coaches to the others:

Well, at the very least, your parents can call it right. I had a parent complain that his kid was "Whores Hollered" tackled.
When I asked what that was, he seriously replied, "You know like in the NFL. You grab 'em by the neck like you would to make a whore holler."

I'm not even going to say what state the father recently moved from.

I just wondered;
a. Where he'd heard that peculiar term before, and,
b. How often he'd employed such a move.
