I recently became aware of this 'court' series.

If she is sceptical of an answer from a defendant she says 'That sounds
like a lot of who shot John'

What does that mean & who is John?

I'm wondering if the "who shot" is a play on "horse s***" in the same way that "shut the front-door" is a play on another expression.

Lol, been listening to Judge Judy for years. Didn't realise she was saying 'who shot john'. I thought it was one of her Yiddish expressions.
Pleasure. :-)
Sorry to be naive but what does 'shut the front door' mean?
" Shut the 'bleep' up"
The phrase seems to be U.S. in origin, however, it's definition appears to depend on which part of the country uses it.

As a child I spent much time with my grandfather and other relatives in the Southern U.S. Usually referred to simply as the 'South' but that encompasses a large geographic area, primarily in the south-east but extending west into Texas as well.

During those visits I clearly remember relatives that still made their own high-powered liquor… commonly called "white lightning". The phrase was often used in relation to that product. An Uncle taking a long pull on a bottle of the stuff would try to catch his breath and then in a whispering voice say "That some of the best who-shot-john I've ever had!"
Ooh, thanks Mamya.
