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

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

I don’t have a piñata in this quinceañera

I don't have a militia in this civil war

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't have a dog in this race

Dog racing is somewhat common.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 years ago

More common than horse fights for sure

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years 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"

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago
[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

Ill jump off that bridge when I get to it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

It's a moo point.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

Good, that shows you can correctly schedule tasks.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 11 points 2 years 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 9 points 2 years ago

"Alright, let's fuck this chicken"

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

[–] LapGoat@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago

it was goat

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ya gotta laugh

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Does the pope shit in the woods

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I don’t have a cock in this horse-off

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't have a horse in this Goatse.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

That really puts the wedding ring on Mr Hands

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 2 years ago

I don't have a Pope in the woods

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The squeaky wheel gets the cheese.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

A picture is worth its weight in gold.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Horse dog. Don't I?

[–] barkingspiders@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

This really clicked for me tonight
