I wish they would give the correct answer when you skip a question. would learn a lot more that way

LordMetalBeard, Similar to “never look a gift horse in the mouth” a lot could be determined about a horses health by examining its mouth.

JMMarkster, Don't look a Gift Horse in the mouth goes way back that farmers n trades people used to trade horses sometimes for goods or services n a site sign of a horse on the downside was bad teeth but could still have a couple of good years left in em !

Actually a horses teeth wear down as it ages. Those who know how to "read a horses mouth" can give a fairly accurate estimate of its age by looking at the surfaces of it's teeth, thus avoiding being swindled. A dishonest owner might try to sell a horse as younger and more valuable than it's actual age. This was/is an extremely valuable skill in horse-trading, not having to take the word of the seller but getting the information . . . "STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH"

topazbinkerz, If you really want to learn -don’t skip questions!!!

If there's a comment with "jolly" ( as an adjective) in a sentence, then I'm afraid that it jolly well originates from British English, what what! 🎩

ObviousQueso1003

I'd heard the saying came from looking at a horses teeth to check age. Apparently " don't look a gift horse in the mouth " is because of teeth as well. The seller can say he's a certain age, but looking in the horses mouth will show the truth.

A lot of questions, to answer them, I have to be a 60 year old American.

LordMetalBeard, Lol. I would rather hear it from the cat's mouth

Tolsom

I know a guy who looks like a horse and his breath is real bad thanks for listening everyone bye

Player #52565397

I am getting addicted to this game. So much to learn from every single question. If you know the answer, there is so much more you don’t know though you got the right answer. If not, it’s even better

Player #43816051

I don't like

Vahid

how amazing is this game. and it's not just a game.

Player #38291957

topazbinkerz, I agree...I don't know why they don't....I hate skipping a question

FoxyLocksy

Actually, I heard it was initially a British army slag. Since the curriers were on horseback, and the horse guards were headquartered at St.James' Palace... that's where the army generals did their planning, and from where they sent orders.

Slammy

meh, it's still sounds like a gamble.

“I heard it straight from the horses mouth.” As an American I can very confidently say that this expression means this: —I heard it directly from the person who the story is about. —
