You* can tell how old a horse is by looking at its teeth, so the expression is telling you if someone is giving you something for free, don't start examining it or looking too closely at it to see its faults.

*By "you," I mean the generic you. I have no fricking idea how to tell a horse's age by looking at its teeth.

For some reason I always wanna know who made up certain popular sayings and why

ie: "When push comes to shove"

wtf does that really mean???

Post some you hate/love or need explained

I think it means that when things start to escalate. like from a push to a harder shove.

and after that, the shit hits the fan - then it's REALLY bad

when things go from bad to worse, out of the frying pan and into the fire!

i used to work with a lady who always said "I wouldn't trust him with a half-eaten pear " and something about a fart up a curtain pole

ugly like a box of hammers (is that right) or a fart in a rusty tin can

explain this one:

"If more males would stand up and be men, then more females would sit down and be ladies"

thanx!

Is that a perverse description of lavatory gender habits

Interesting.

I've also heard that the term is "borrowed" from messages during war (be it by mouth, pigeon, Morse code, radio, etc) relaying grateful news of zero casualities from one's own side.

"Zero Killed" i.e. "O - K", in saying that 'all persons are fine'.

My boss (a female) says things like "...we didn't rape each other when we were younger...well, we finger fucked each other..."

she really said that about a story of a boy who raped a girl, she said "what's wrong with the world today?" and then added the other part

there are some things that can never be appropriate to say at work, and she says every one of them. I think she has a "inappropriate phrase per day" book.

you should start a blog "inappropriate shit my boss says"

"...like throwing a sausage down a corridor..."

I hear people say this shit all the time, I swear.

@ that picture.

I loathe the saying "you want your cake and want to eat it too!"

Who came up with that??? Like, what in the hell am I supposed to do with this cake if I can't dig in it?!

"It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none"

I actually appreciate the generous nature of this statement even if I would decline such an offer.

Yeah. I messed up and fell asleep earlier. I'm pretty much fucked.

So now I am looking at random stuff like this

That sounds like my dreams, the ones that make me wake up screaming OH MY GOOOOOOD

I'm having a big strawberry (lactose free) milk. An experiment for my guts. I haven't had strawberry milk since the late 80s. Wish me luck!!!
