Straight from the Horse's Mouth

Straight from the horse’s Month

Welcome to English in a minute!

This American idiom is about getting your facts right.

Did you hear that rumor going around about Craig and Cheryl calling off their wedding?

Yeah, I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Craig told me he’s calling off the wedding.

I didn’t want to ask too many questions, but it’s true.

Do people really look into a horse’s mouth for facts?

straight from the horses mouth means you got information about a situation directly from a person involved, and not through rumors.

The saying comes from the fact that people can tell the true age of a horse by looking at the teeth in its mouth.

So if you get information straight from the horse’s mouth, you have the truth!
