This is the true evolution
I prefer, due to my white trash rural roots:
"That dog won't hunt."
My two favorite malaphors:
- It's not rocket surgery.
- We will burn that bridge when we get to it.
Malaphor, my new favorite word Also: "she looks like she's been through the run of the mill"
That’s all water under the fridge at this point.
Not sure what's the idiom with "fridge" in it.
"I don't have a horse in this dog": incoherent, fanciful, drunk
"Shit or get out of the kitchen" is my current favorite malaphor.
I use "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it" pretty frequently myself
"not the sharpest knife in the cookie jar"
I don't have a dog in this horse.
I don't have a race in this fight.
"I don't fight in other people's races."
Implies that my fighting is done strictly at my own behest:-).
I don't have one horse size duck or 100 duck sized horses in this race.
"I'm not the sharpest crayon in the basket. "
"Does the pope shit in the woods?"
"I dont have a horse in this fight" makes sense if context is Calvary charge. I dk im drunk.
And a dog in this race for greyhound racing
"I don't have a hot dog in this bun" - me to the Costco worker.
"Whatever guy, it's like $2 and I know you just swallowed the whole damn thing, but here, sure, I'll give you another one while you hold your bag with 5 pounds of hot pockets and a 3L bottle of Johnny Walker blue. "
-the Costco worker
I'm not a native English speaker, but in my experience "I don't have a horse in this race" seems more common.
I'm a native, and I'd agree. But it's a funny post so, I'll ignore that.
"I don't have a race-fight in this horse-dog" : questionable morals; supernatural or sci-fi undertones; a good chance for double-takes, perhaps even the odd triple-take
I don't have a race-fight in this hot-dog
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
“I don’t have a sea slug in this drive by.” Conjures images of underwater sea violence and muddies your message.
There's a YouTuber named Memoria Matters who has an inside joke that she's trying to popularize the idiom "too many dogs on the dance floor". I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any particular meaning, however. It came up quite a few times during her Alien: Isolation let's play, however.
Bada-bing!
Dammit, that's too fantastic to NOT be an idiom
Sounds like the name of the next hit single from Reel Big Fish
I don't have a fight in this race
"I don't have any skin in this game"
Who's betting pieces of skin?
Antonio?
The older "Dog in the hunt" is a bit less grim.
Unless you're a fox...
Wow, that does provoke strong imagery. That's a great looking dog in a great looking race. I hope he wins.
Grim? Tell spanish people: "I don't have a candle in this burial."
I don't know. I don't have a horse in this dogfight. Still working on his pilot's license.
"I don't have a monkey in this circus"
did someone say synthesis?
i have no beef in this stew
"I don't have a child with this horse."
'Corn Maze' by Aesop Rock
"The phone pings from a pillow fort in a corn maze. I don't have a horse in your war games"
