Where did this phrase come from? Are you crazy motherfuckers out there looking at regular horses in the mouth?

You can tell a horse’s approximate age by looking at its teeth. The saying means “don’t try to find fault with something you’ve been given as a gift”

Thank you for this gift of new knowledge 🙏

I will be sure to use it next time I send someone a horse for my appreciation.

Also describing an aging person as “long in the tooth”

Which is a pretty ol timey way of talking to someone.
