Oh Yes !!! Very Funny !!!

[Guest Ferret1959]

As bald as a coot.

Meaning

Completely bald.

Origin

Coots are water birds whose white head colouring give them the appearance of baldness.

[Guest Ferret1959]

Straight from the horses mouth.

Meaning

From the highest authority.

Origin

In horse racing circles tips on which horse is a likely winner circulate amongst punters. The most trusted authorities are considered to be those in closest touch with the recent form of the horse, i.e. stable lads, trainers etc. The notional 'from the horse's mouth' is supposed to indicate one step better than even that inner circle.
