Hey You

Don’t hey me. Hay is for horses.

No, it’s horses for courses.

What?

There’s hay,
usually spelled H-A-Y
to eat,
and there’s hey,
usually spelled H-E-Y,
to greet.

Horses for courses is an Anglo idiom,
a British term,
that means
some things
may serve
some purposes
better than
other
things:

You can’t feed a horse ~~the word hey~~ a word.

But you can usually, maybe not in this case, but usually, usually, you can greet a human with ~~one~~ it.

You don’t know horses for courses,
but do you know pearls before swine?

No, you may not think you’re a phony. Right? It doesn’t mean you’re not one, but are you a philistine?

I don’t know if a rose is a rose:
I don’t know from roses.

But if you wanna know the difference between
gold
and sparkle,
wine may be wine,
but whiskey’s not vodka.
