"Rocking horse manure" nghĩa là gì?


"Rocking horse manure" = phân ngựa bập bênh -> nghĩa là điều rất hiếm gặp hoặc không có thật.

Ví dụ
As with most large-scale community projects, it would be logistically (về hậu cần) easier to find a needle in rocking-horse manure hidden in a haystack that’s made out of haystacks, but the project was eventually approved and initially slated (dự kiến) for construction in 2012 to coincide (cùng với) with the Preston Guild celebrations though was delayed until 2015. 

While tag-axle tractors (available factory-built from DAF, MAN, Renault, Scania, Volvo and to a lesser extent Mercedes-Benz) are not especially hard to source, throw a manual gearbox into the equation and your choice shrinks (thu hẹp) considerably. Now try looking for one that’s less than six years old. The expression “rocking horse manure” springs to mind!

So we’d tried the “word of mouth” pony — fail one, and then the “unknown from an advert (quảng cáo)” — fail two, and we were no further forward in the hunt for what was clearly as rare as the proverbial rocking horse “manure”.

"That's why we've got the second 'sacrificial' (hy sinh) engine for racing, as we like to call it. You never want to lose an engine, but if it has to be this one, it's less of an issue." A spare, original 250 GTO motor - that surely ranks alongside hen's dentures (răng giả) and rocking horse manure in the unobtainable stakes.
