I appreciate the discussion of this colorful phrase so I would like to
add what seems to have been a migration of the phrase. At least in the
part of the West I hang out in.
" . . . you and the horse you rode in on."
" . . . you and anyone who looks like you."
" . . . you and the horse who looks like you."
and so on, and so on . . .
