That’s a horse of a different story
Posted: August 12, 2013 Filed under: ANIMALS, horse | Tags: another story, blended idioms, expressions, horse of a different color, humor, language, malaphors, mixed idioms, words Leave a commentThis is a blend of “a horse of a different color” (an entirely different matter) and “that’s another (or different) story” (an explanation to give at some other time). A big thanks to Robyn Pietrucha who heard this malaphor spoken in the 1934 comedy short, “The Chases of Pimple Street”, starring Charley Chase. The movie is a spoof of the 1934 classic, “The Barretts of Wimpole Street”.
