God help me. I love this woman.

I can see that. "screw you guys, I'm going home"

My wife thought the A-shirt was called a "white beater" because they are white.

Nah, that was you. Stop trying to safe face.

My dad, for years and years, used to say "don't kick a gift horse in the mouth." When we would challenge him on this, he would insist it means don't be mean to someone who was nice to you. We'd tell him it's actually don't look a gift horse in the mouth, meaning don't be critical of a gift or favor.

One day, out of the blue, he asks "does anybody know how to tell how old a horse is?"

Yes, dad. We all do. Everyone does. Literally everyone. You are the absolute last person to figure out how this expression works.

I mean, that still logically works, if in a different context. Instead of something not being impressive, a situation wouldn't be worth going home over

For all intensive purposes, it is.

I cannot turn a blonde eye to these misheard sayings

Does it matter? Its kind of a mute point

It's one of the best catchphrases ever.

First off, I was always under the assumption that the phrase was in reference to the Trojan Horse and that it meant to not accept suspicious gifts. Secondly, I also had no idea that you can tell how old a horse is by looking at its teeth. Like, how does that work?

I dunno the details but I assume it's a qualitative sort of thing. Similar to how you can tell a tree is really old it has a thick trunk, but you can't pinpoint an age in years or anything.

I always took it more to be don't look into the details of a gift, you may be underwhelmed (or even disgusted) by what you find

I'm feeling a cowzone for dinner. What yall think?

Whitney Cummings thought it was "let's play it by year." Ironically, nobody corrected her for years. -_-

Horses teeth protrude farther and grow longer as they age.

They're also the origin of the phrase that someone old is "looking a bit long in the tooth."

That works, big news should be delivered in-person

Now, there are definitely songs where they just straight up lied about the lyrics. That doesn't happen to be one of them, but since you've reminded me I gotta go get my soap box and talk about my favorite example: Sweet Dreams, to anyone who has ears are unquestionably made not of "this," but of "THESE," regardless of what wronglyrics dot com says.

Reminds me of the Doug Benson bit about his friend (?) who ordered eggs Benedict with "holidays sauce".
