My grandfather used to say: ”See a man about a dog”, When I was small I always thought he was going to buy a puppy, but he never did.
-
Yep, agree: A dog would do the job.
-
As I did the photo in Kazakhstan, I thought a horse is more appropriate 🙂
-
-
Yes, that is a nice story 🙂
-
-
Ha, brilliant!
-
Thanks a lot, Richard.

-
someday i hope
to ride
a horse 🙂-
Well, I guess you can do it nearly everywhere.
I only did it as a child – so I’m not sure if I still can 🙂

Excuse me , but could you explain the meaning of this sentence? Thank you very much.
-
It is an English saying meaning “going to urinate” male usage usually.. Yeah well, someone had to say it 😀
-
Again, thank you for your definition 🙂
-
I realised afterwards that i was duplicating someone elses effort.. Such is life
-
But anyway, thank you for your definition.

Please see the explanations by Beat Company and Feralc4t – they did a wonderful job giving a definition of the expression.
And I thank you both for doing so!

To see a man about a dog (or see a man about a horse) is an English language colloquialism, usually used as a way to say one needs to apologize for one’s imminent departure or absence – generally euphemistically to conceal one’s true purpose, such as going to use the toilet or going to buy a drink. (British: Powder one’s nose.)
-
Yes, thank you for the definition. 🙂

I can see a hippo.
-
I wonder how that creeped into the picture 🙂
-

fab loos 🙂 (now i want to pee) 🙂
-
Thanks, Sedge.
Then I hope you have a man you can see about a horse close by. 🙂

This is a lovely post and thread – and I didn’t knew the meaning until now 🙂 🙂
-
Thank you for your compliment, Hanna.
I noticed a lot of people didn’t understand at first – but for a toilet in the desert in Kazakhstan (the “land of horses”) it was just the perfect title 🙂-
I enjoyed it very much – still do 🙂 🙂
-
Thanks again 🙂

A definite attraction in this landscape!
-
Yes, most definitely. 🙂

Dans le desert on n’urine pas n’importe ou !
-
Eh bien, elle est ici. 🙂

It made no sense until I read the explanations. Now I understand … you were “going to see Mrs. Murphy”!
-
Yes, there are different expressions. You can also see little tigers or go to #17 🙂

I’m 73 years old and I haven’t heard that phrase since I was in the service back in the early 60’s (1961.)
Great image!-
Thank you.
Well, it came to mind when photographing toilets in Kazakhstan – the land of horses 🙂

Never knew the origin of that expression. I always thought it was more generic as in not wanting to explain to somebody where you are going… but that would make sense! As I get older, tracking down restrooms becomes more important so I was attracted to the photo but when I looked at it more closely I saw that you had incorporated what looks to me like a loaded down jeep on the horizon leaving the frame of the photo…. maybe this was their rest stop… I am always telling myself stories!
-
Well, you are not the only one who sees a lot of stories in this picture. 🙂
Yes, you are right, we make up these phrases so we don’t have to say where we are actually going. 🙂

The euphanism one my father used, alternately with ” going to sharpen my skates” usually in July. Always confusing.
-
Yes, I can see that. 🙂
