"A Horse Of A Different Color".......



Something completely different or separate, especially in comparison to something else.

Sidebar: This term probably derives from a phrase coined by Shakespeare, who wrote “a horse of that color” ( Twelfth Night, 2:3), meaning “the same matter” rather than a different one. By the mid-1800s the term was used to point out difference rather than likeness.


Thanks Gemme for jogging my memory of this.......
