get back on the horse

Share definition
Def. 1 (verb) To attempt the same challenging action after failure. Apparently derived from an old adage: "You have to get back on the horse that threw you."

Def. 2 (verb) To get back into a habit. Traditionally this would refer to a good habit, but sarcastically might refer to a bad habit or addiction. Possible confusion with the phrase "on the sauce".
Def. 1 - I know you burned the turkey trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but you can't let that stop you if you really want to become a chef. You'll just have to get back on the horse and try cooking it again.

Def. 2 - I'd been trying to do 30 minutes of exercise every day, but my work schedule eventually got so busy I could never make it to the gym. Things have calmed down quite a bit recently though and I keep meaning to get back on the horse and go work out again.

spot the horse

Share definition
A game played, usually at a casino, to spot the girl with the bruises on her knees next to the high rollers.

The girl is considered a horse because she'll let you ride upon her for a small fee. Other common terms for such a girl would be golddigger, casino whore, money whore, etc.

NOTE: This game is typically played by minors who are not able to gamble yet.

Getting information from the highest authority.

Origin:
When you get a tip for a horse race, the tip is better as nearer it is to the horse e.g. the jockey or the trainer. When you got it straight from the horse's mouth, you have it directly from the source.
This tip is foolproof, I got it (straight) from the horse's mouth!
