Big fan of "I don't have a donkey in this fiesta"

I don’t have a piñata in this quinceañera

I don't have a militia in this civil war

I don't have a dog in this race

Dog racing is somewhat common.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

More common than horse fights for sure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would have felt a dog racing is actually more common than horse racing. Dogs are cheaper than horses, and don't require jockeys, so that's a cost saving right there.

Con Idea: I could get a really big dog, and enter it as a small horse.

"not my circus, not my monkey"

I always heard it as "Not my monkeys, not my circus"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ill jump off that bridge when I get to it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Good, that shows you can correctly schedule tasks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It's a moo point.

I've never heard "dog in this fight" before; what the fuck and it's normal??

[–] thedirtyknapkin 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard that before, but I'm my lived experience the horse race once has been way more common. maybe it's reversed if you live somewhere that dogfighting is more common.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

the horse one is wayy more common apparently considering that I've never heard the dog one

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I've heard it a lot. Xennial from rural Ohio, USA originally

[–] Agent641 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whenever there's a horsefight, my money is always on the horse. The guy fighting it always gets demolished.

"That's just three jockeys in a trenchcoat!"

[–] makeshiftreaper 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Clearly you aren't familiar with the Calvins Twins and their horse boxing empire

[–] 4_degrees 1 points 1 month ago

Ya gotta laugh

You're the one fucking this goat; I'm just holding the horns ~ ex of mine (she might also have said bull)

"Alright, let's fuck this chicken"

-Friend of mine, every time he runs open mic night.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

it was goat

[–] ggppjj 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Love me some malaphors. My personal favorite is mixing "shit or get off the pot" and "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"

Does the pope shit in the woods

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Why you keep asking me that, holmes? I told you, I dunno. Where his Holiness does his business, is his business

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Got me giggling like mad here. I didn't know about the second one, let alone the combinations. I'll have to remember that.

[–] whotookkarl 8 points 1 month ago

"Not my circus, not my monkeys" is another pretty common one I've heard

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You wouldn't bring a dog to a horse fight.

"I don't have a horse in this cook-off."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I don’t have a cock in this horse-off

[–] disguy_ovahea 6 points 1 month ago

I have neither a horse-sized dog, nor 100 dog-sized horses in this roller derby.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I've played enough Mount & Blade to know that if you're in a fight and everyone else has horses you're probably fucked.

[–] Skullgrid 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't have a dog in this race could refer to Greyhound races

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't have a horse in this Goatse.

That really puts the wedding ring on Mr Hands

I don't have a Pope in the woods

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I don't have a horse in this fight sounds more close to "my kingdom for a horse" than the originals though.

[–] Philharmonic3 3 points 1 month ago

The squeaky wheel gets the cheese.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] SLVRDRGN 3 points 1 month ago

A picture is worth its weight in gold.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I don't have a horse in this dog house, but if I did, I wouldn't look it in the mouth.

[–] TropicalDingdong 1 points 1 month ago

Horse dog. Don't I?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

This really clicked for me tonight
