I love this line:

[Just-Legal]

"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"

One of my characters has just come out with it, rather ironically to a Paladin - one of their identifiable features is their Charger. I'm fairly certain its a quote from somewhere as well... any ideas?

Im not sure what you want to hear, it's a fairly common expression in the part of the country where I'm from...

Yep. Same here.

I must confess I've used it myself.

 

[Just-Legal]

Ah cool, no that's good, I just worried that i'd have people commenting that I'd lifted it from a film or something

 

[MagicaPractica]

It's not too uncommon an expression but I think it was used in a movie some time ago, but I seem to remember it being "fuck him." Either that or "them."

not sure of its veracity, but it sounds like a great origin ...

On Motherfucking Language: Horses

In this feature, inspired by William Safire's New York Times Magazine column "On Language", SkinnySlim explores the etymology of popular off-color words and phrases.

"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on" - Currently used to reprimand a rude individual with a superiority complex, the actual sentiment is quite vulgar. Some maintain it first appeared in a 1917 "midnight blue" song entitled "Hi-Tootin', Pig Shootin' Boogie", performed by Patches McPhingers and His Merry Dumpsters. "Midnight blue" songs were riffs on vaudevillian numbers known for their blatant use of profanity. In the aforementioned tune, Patches sings, "Iz luvs you baby, but Iz don't know what to do/Cause if youin't gonna get off your high horse ima gonna fuck you and that pretty mare too." The phrase's origins date back even further, however, to 17th Century Russia and Catherine the Great. Catherine is infamously known for her predilection for bestiality, particularly with the equine species . As legend goes, Grigori Potemkin, Catherine's former lover and Russian field general, returned from a poor showing in the Russo-Turkish War. Instead of showing modesty, he literally rode into the Palace on his horse, named Bernard. As servants took Bernard away, Potemkin bragged of his courage and how he had saved Russia from an even worse fate. Incensed, Catherine summoned Bernard from his stable and proceeded to engage in sexual relations with the animal. She then demanded the General "engage" with her, but due to his disgust and humiliation, he was unable to perform. Catherine dramatically proclaimed, "I planned on fucking you and the horse you rode in on, General Potemkin, but yet again you have failed Mother Russia!"

Another variation, probably with Wizard of Oz connotations is, "Fuck you, and your little dog, too."

“Fuck you and the horse you rode in on Tristan, you are not taking my blades or my bow, and you are *not* ransacking my vault! Alheria and Tarmwrench didn’t have to give anything up except themselves, why do I have to be the show pony?”

Too many horse references in one rant?

Oo, that's interesting RogueLurker thank you

 

[drksideofthemoon]

Fuck you and that nag you rode in on, to call it a horse would be an insult to the equine world.

Nah, he has quite a nice horse.

 

[SeaCat]

Fuck you and your little pink pony you Prick teasing Prince of Peace.

"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"

Often saved for the end of the argument.

Another great use of 'Fuck you':

"Fuck you and everybody that looks like you!"

No horse, but expressive none the less: "I fuck the whole front row at your funeral!"

My variant;
"Honestly, darling, you have no gravitas."

"To hell with gravitas and the thesarus it rode in on!"*

Fuck you and the whore you went home with.

In the movie Meatballs 2 (I think?) there was a scene with Paul Rubens giving someone the finger. Once up, and again out. The first was for a man, the second was for his horse

Yeap. Meatballs Part 2. The one with the alien from space.

Why are they always so fixated on the horse? Not that I mind, of course, if a bit of skill is employed, but I do wonder.

Oh, and I'm sorry to say it, but that Catherine the Great story sounds completely fabricated. They always go back to the horses with her, but I think it's just that they didn't like her. I do, however, lend slightly more credence to the report that when her Polish lover died, they stuffed him into a canon and fired him back in the direction of Poland.

Because horses are wonderful, of course.

"Fuck you and your horse over a barrel?"

(By the way, I loved the Serbian one - so God-awful cruel and profane that it really is a delight.)
