Dear Evran,
Collocation is a combination (group) of words that are typically or frequently used together.

Words with high collocation are frequently found together (sweet as honey, military police, bread and butter), while words with low collocation are seldom found next to each other (sweet as mud, culinary police, bread and sushi).

It means nothing as far as I know-- the words are an example of very low collocation. Nevertheless, googling the phrase produces 11 hits.

Maybe the person is confounding three different collocations:

mud pie
sweet as pie
clear as mud

I wasn't confounding anything-- I made it up. Yours collocate much higher than mine, of course.
