The phrase means to stop the engagement.  Almost exclusively used in mock, not real, combat.  Either the learning objective has been reached or an unsafe situation will rear its' ugly head if the "attack" is continued.

I know when we used it while I was in the Marines, it meant "fast."\nAs in, "Get that done ricky tick!"  Its got to do with the story of Ricky Ticky Tavy, and how he was so fast a cobra couldn't catch him.

I reckon you are using some sort of rhyming slang for having a poop outdoors but if you are serious Theres loads of urban cowboys near to where I live and they all keep horses in their suburban front/back gardens (Comical I know) they go about in traps all the time. One guy (a nutcase) close to where I live once brought his horse up to the boxroom in his mums house!! The horse used to look out the bedroom window as we walked by pretty crazy huh!!

As the cowboy said when the  horse he was riding \nalmost stepped on the magic snake, ( who in reality was a genie). The snake granted him one wish for not killing him. The cowboy said " I want to be hung like this here horse i'm a riding". afterward he realized he was riding the mare that day.

1. He appears to be asking the man if he needs someone to look after his horses. He is suggesting that he would like to do take this job as he is keen to get back into training horses which is what he has done before.\n\n2. Yes. He is saying that he would be willing to accept less money than normal to do the job.\n\n3. Beat a dead horse (actually the real expression is - Flog a dead horse) is an expression which means to do something which has no point because it is already settled. For example, if a child asked his mother for something and she said NO and would not change her mind, then to keep asking can be described as  - Beating (Flogging) a dead horse. In your example it possibly is referring to the pointlessness of asking for work when none is on offer. But it is also meant to be funny in this case because the subject is actually about horses :-)\n\nThe expression probably comes from the pointlessness of beating a horse (to make it work harder) if it is dead!!

Yes\nThe horse walks "on a diagonal" which means it moves it's left foreleg and right hindleg together and right foreleg and left hindleg together.\nThe camel moves fore and hind legs on one side at the same time.\nThis is why when I was in Egypt and took a camle ride around the Pyramids my ass hurt for days !

Beating the dead horse means that even tho you are trying to get that dang horse to go, he won't, cause he's dead. It means you are really trying to do something but you keep getting the same results, no matter what you do.

Originally referred to a horse that was ill used and badly cared for. Now refers to a female who has "been around the track a couple of times." In others words, a barfly or floozy. Of course this is all slang and refers to a lady of easy or questionable virtue.

"on a roll" here, means "gaining momentum" or picking up speed, -- \n\nor even "winning streak"

There are two entirely different definitions of "nap"\n\nIn betting terms, a nap is a tipsters choice as the best chance of a winner that day.\n\nAlso a horse that runs sideways to try and avoid the riders commands is described as "napping".  You sometimes see racehorses running sideways when going down to the start or when passing the stabling area - this is napping.  It is generally evasive behaviour on the part of the horse and is to be discouraged whenever possible.

It means "before."  When used with a verb, as in "andante avanti" it translates into English as "forward" but in fact technically means "go before me."

The expression is "too close to the wind."  It is an expression based on sail ships.  To sail upwind, a sail ship must tack, follow a zig-zag path each leg of which is only slightly up wind.  If a pilot gets too greedy and tries to sail too directly into the wind, he will stall.  That is called sailing "too close to the wind" short for "too close to the direction from which the wind is blowing."\n\nAs a saying, it means trying to accomplish too much too fast.  If you try to do too much, you can end up accomplishing nothing.
