...Straight
From the
Horses
Mouth.........What
does the
phrase mean
"I got it
straight
from the
horses
mouth?” It
means you
have
privileged,
'inside'
information.
It derives,
I think,
from racing,
in which one
might get
the likely
winner 'from
the horse's
mouth'
Or from the
fact that a
horse's age
can be
deduced by
looking at
its teeth
(which is
why it's bad
manners to
"look a gift
horse in the
mouth"). If
somebody
tells you
the horse's
age, well,
maybe it's
true and
maybe it's
not. But the
answer you
get from the
horse's
mouth is
reliable.
