Neither hide nor hair. I read that this saying is a reversal of an ancient saying "in hide and hair" meaning entirely. The American phrase means 'nothing whatsoever" nothing at all' As in "I haven't seen hide nor hair of that book" same as I have seen nothing whatsoever of that book. The first record of it occurred in an early work of Josiah G. Holland, 'The Bay Path,' published in 1857: 'I haven't seen hide nor hair of the piece ever since.'
