These days people will back track or flip-flop, but nobody crawfishes any more.

Here us an old idiom- "tied around your little finger"

Everybody knows what tied around your little finger means, but nobody seems to know how they got there. It's a reference to falconry. When you park your hawk you tie a hitch from its legging to your finger in order to control the bird.

He would argue with a signpost.
He would climb a tree to tell a lie rather than stand on the ground and tell the truth.
He won't last til the water gets hot.
So mad he couldn't hit the ground in three tries with his hat.
Not worth the powder and lead it would take to blow his head off.
Plain as a mud fence.
If the dog hadn't stopped to ****, he wiuld have caught the rabbit.

Also guess being wrapped around someone's finger might be related to falconry.
