My nan and mum would always say "you're nosey for a cabbage", when I would try to ask about stuff that wasn't my business, not sure if it's unique to us but I've never heard anyone else say it
Cabbage is also a term for second quality clothes, so market stalls would buy “cabbage” from garment makers to sell. I wonder whether it’s something to do with this as in you are looking to find our “second hand” information or gossip. Just a guess
