The Possible Etymology of A Popular Expression

One of my older female relatives came for a visit and my husband and I took the opportunity to go to a movie alone.  While we were out, my toddler had a messy diaper.  When we returned, my relative proudly exclaimed "and I was able to clean it up using only THREE wipes!" 

Needless to say, I was suspicious about the thoroughness of the cleaning given the paucity of wipes used, so I investigated.  I now understand the meaning of the expression "a half-assed job."  Said relative has been relieved of diaper patrol.
