: Hi! I was wondering what this saying means and where it comes from? Thank you for your help. Sax

This is the opposite of a 'Gift Horse'. Look this one in the 'mouth' and it turns out to be a rare and beautiful thing - a Unicorn perhaps - rather than a worn out old nag polished up to make it appear young and fit.

See: the meaning and origin of the phrase "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".
