I think this actually refers to Shakspeare's Hamlet. Ok, here it is:
"This phrase is taken from William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The speaker is Marcellus, a guard, who talks to his philosophical comrade, Horatio, saying, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark …“ (Act-I, Scene-IV). The reason of saying this is just not that Denmark is facing dirt. It means that the situation of Denmark is similar to a fish that rots from head to tail, or in other words, it shows that everything is not good at top of political hierarchy."
This isn't a saying but I noticed you wrote "Being that..."
People still say things like "Being as you did so and so..."
Also Nothing to write home about.
Thanks Hillbilly very interesting
