| Phrase | to back a different horse |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to back a different horse" means to support a different person or thing, or to hope that another person wins or that another thing is successful: "They lost a lot of money in the stock market, so now they're backing a different horse by purchasing rental properties." The phrase "a horse of a different color" refers to something that is completely different: "After 10 years of teaching, Mr. Meinzen remembers one student who was truly a horse of a different color." Finally, the phrase "straight from the horse's mouth" refers to something that is heard directly from the source, not by someone who is repeating the information: "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it straight from the horse's mouth." |
