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

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t have a piñata in this quinceañera

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have a militia in this civil war

I don't have a dog in this race

Dog racing is somewhat common.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

More common than horse fights for sure

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ill jump off that bridge when I get to it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Good, that shows you can correctly schedule tasks.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

It's a moo point.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year 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"

[–] nooneescapesthelaw@mander.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does the pope shit in the woods

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

"Alright, let's fuck this chicken"

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

[–] LapGoat@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

it was goat

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ya gotta laugh

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I don’t have a cock in this horse-off

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have a horse in this Goatse.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

That really puts the wedding ring on Mr Hands

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have a Pope in the woods

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The squeaky wheel gets the cheese.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A picture is worth its weight in gold.

[–] barkingspiders 1 points 1 year ago

This really clicked for me tonight

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Horse dog. Don't I?
