I came out with this phrase the other day and then couldn't remember where I'd got it from - I knew I hadn't made it up. Turns out it's from Stephen Pile's The Book of Heroic Failures
The phrase is from the entry for the worst phrasebook, which is online here.
(from "For to ride a horse") Here is a horse who have bad looks. Give me another. I will not that. He not sall know to march, he is pursy, he is foundered. Don't you are ashamed to give me a jade as like? he is unshoed, he is with nails up.
