Look a gift horse in the mouth 

It's Roman slang: "Noli equi dentes inspicere donati". For example, you can find it in St. Jerome's Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians, written in the 5th century.

You look in a horse's mouth to determine its age and/or health. So if someone gives you a horse, and you look in it's mouth, it's like looking for a price tag. It's rude!

Lucius: I bought you this tunic in Thebes for your birthday.
Quintus: Thanks dude. Hey, look, the seam has really cheap thread.
Lucius: Noli equi dentes inspicere donati.
Quintus: Wha?
Lucius: It's Latin. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Quintus. Oh yah, right. Mea culpa.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! 

A saying when someone gives you something useful but you don't like it at all and you would like to have something better for you .

In the past, when buying a horse, people looked to see if it had healthy teeth.

Dad: „I will give you my little car for your birthday.“
Daughter: „But I don’t like it! I’d rather like a big car!“
Dad: „OH, c’mon! Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!“
