horses and bayonets

Barack Obama's flippant reponse to Mitt Romney's complaint during their third televised debate (October 22, 2012) that the U.S. Navy had fewer battleships than at any time since 1917. Obama's remark that the military has fewer "horses and bayonets, too" makes an analogy that measuring battleships (as opposed to aircraft carriers) is an archaic metric of military power, in much the same way that measuring "horses and bayonets" would no longer indicate an army's might. (NB: Marines are still issued bayonets.)

"The Navy has fewer battleships than at any time since 1917."

"The military has fewer horses and bayonets, too. We live in a different world."

Horse Pull

A technique for horse euthanasia where two ropes are looped around the lame horse and are then tied to two healthy horses. The healthy horses gallop in opposite directions at full speed. The ropes become taught and decapitate the lame horse almost instantly.

"In the mid-nineteenth century, the horse pull was the preferred way to discard a lame or sickly horse. During the peak of its popularity, the entire farm would come to watch the horse pull. Occasionally, people from nearby towns would join too."

- John Hammersmith, "The American Wild West, Unveiled"

latte is horse

It seems like it's a grammatically wrong phrase but it is actually Koreanized English term which means "When I was your/at your age" or "during my time". Since "๋‚˜ ๋•Œ(Na ddae)" sounds like "Latte" and "๋ง์ด์•ผ(Mal ee yah)" sounds like "is (a) horse", Koreans translated these into English in their own way and using the phrase in a daily basis. It is a common phrase used among boomer generations.

The phrase can be used in a satiric way in a certain situation like below.

Youngling: Man, Fxxx this. Can't do this anymore.

Boomer: Son, when I was your age...
Youngling: Sir, I do really respect you in every way but "Latte is horse" ain't work in this situation.
