In German, we call the lower image "Pfluft" and I think that's beautiful. /j

Explanation for the non-Germans:
Horse in German is "Pferd", so "Pf-Erd".
"Erd" = "ground" in German.

So naturally the second pic is "Pfluft", or "Pf-Luft", because
"Luft" = "air" in German.

TBF, it typically is kinda cryptic (the "Pfluft" joke being a good example here)...
