putting words in the horse's mouth

the ugly habit of interrupting someone by finishing their sentences/words for them
boy, in an argument with his father:

boy: dad, sorry, but I'll skip dinner tonight and (...)

father: (...) finish your chemistry and physics projects you are working on with your girlfriend Melissa? or go to James's for a juicy?

boy: kodem koll, dad, stop putting words in the horse's mouth, something you've learnt to do so well lately. it's rude. And FYI it's actually Spanish and Latin homework I was going to work on anyways. I'll work on the chemistry and physics later.

I can't go to James's, he out of town for his grandmother's funeral

Putting words in God’s mouth

Because that isn’t literally what the Bible does....
Hym “If man can’t literally speak with God, how is the Bible/All religious text not putting words in God’s mouth? (Which is something you accused me of doing) I don’t know, give my thing a couple of thousand years... We’ll see what happens...
