I prefer, due to my white trash rural roots:
“That dog won’t hunt.”
I don’t have a don’t in this don’t.
This is the true evolution
My two favorite malaphors:
- It’s not rocket surgery.
- We will burn that bridge when we get to it.
“I don’t have a horse in this dog”: incoherent, fanciful, drunk
"I’m not the sharpest crayon in the basket. "
“Does the pope shit in the woods?”
“Shit or get out of the kitchen” is my current favorite malaphor.
I’m not a native English speaker, but in my experience “I don’t have a horse in this race” seems more common.
I’m a native, and I’d agree. But it’s a funny post so, I’ll ignore that.

The older “Dog in the hunt” is a bit less grim.
Unless you’re a fox…
that is not my beer
are the Finns okay
Depends whether their cow is in a ditch
I don’t know. I don’t have a horse in this dogfight. Still working on his pilot’s license.
There’s a YouTuber named Memoria Matters who has an inside joke that she’s trying to popularize the idiom “too many dogs on the dance floor”. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have any particular meaning, however. It came up quite a few times during her Alien: Isolation let’s play, however.
Dammit, that’s too fantastic to NOT be an idiom
I don’t have a fight in this race
“I don’t have a monkey in this circus”
did someone say synthesis?
