OP Greetings to the members of this board! I'm brand new here and have been reading here for about a year.
Although I've been around horses all my life, no one has been able to answer my question about why we say that someone has eaten enough to choke a horse. Horses don't choke that I'm aware of. And they eat a great deal--many nonstop, if you'd let them.
Is this expression simply an exaggeration--or is there truth behind it?
Looking forward to hearing your insights.
Trippingly,
Orion's Belt
