But Florida has swampland, so your idiom makes no sense.

anon, that's the point. it's not a case of the idiom being that they're selling an imaginary thing, but rather a worthless thing. swamp land is extremely hard to build on, that's why disney world was initially able to buy the land so cheap. you have to basically fill it all with cement.

You've already bought 500 acres of swampland didn't you.
