RE: My Name is What? TheDarkHorse - Writing Contest
Great contest - that's interesting. I'm sure i would have asked you about your name as i already was wondering about it. I just checked if we have this definition for this term also in germany - but i couldn't find anything beside articles about dark machinations in equestrian sports. Then i looked up in Dutch but there i found only articles how horses can see in the dark or how to make a horse more recognizable in the dark. :) So it looks like it's an english term. Great to know about it! Thanks for tagging me - i think i will work on my entry tomorrow :).... What i saw on the original contest page on the contest rules is : 'Leave the link to your post as a comment to this post so we will know you have an entry'.....but i didn't saw your comment/link ....something you missed to do? ....just sayin ...not that your entry will not be recognized.
Just left my link, thanks for the reminder!
Didn't realize that Dark Horse was only a US saying. It's really not a common one here either, but it's known at least. Think I like it's not common, more fitting.
The british people also using it. Definition UK : a person who keeps their interests and ideas secret, especially someone who has a surprising ability or skill. :)
A little different meaning, but fairly close.
