这是形容丑陋的众多生动的南方比喻之一。其逻辑是：专业制作的罪孽至少看起来可能还有些诱惑力，但自制的罪孽粗糙到连那点魅力都没有。这种夸张的比喻是南方幽默和讲故事传统的一大特色。

Uno de los muchos símiles sureños pintorescos para la fealdad.

醜さを表す南部の比喩表現の一つ。プロが作った罪なら少なくとも魅力的に見えるかもしれないが、手作りの罪は粗末すぎてその魅力すらないという発想である。このような大げさな比喩は南部のユーモアと語り口の特徴だ。

못생김을 나타내는 수많은 남부식 비유 중 하나이다. 전문적으로 만든 죄라면 최소한 매력적으로 보일 수 있겠지만, 수제 죄는 너무 조잡해서 그런 매력마저 없다는 논리이다. 이런 과장된 비유는 남부 유머와 이야기 전통의 특징이다.

Origen e historia

Part of the rich tradition of Southern hyperbolic similes. The 'homemade' qualifier adds folksy humor — as if manufactured sin might be polished, but the homemade variety is rough and unappealing. In use since at least the mid-1800s.
