> > OK, thanks :-). I don't want to start a new topic for a very small question, so here it goes: "pantomime horse" doesn't have any hidden figurative meanings, does it :-)? It is just that, a costume of a horse, nothing more, right? Just checking :-).

Carol responds:
I'm not even sure that a costume is necessary unless British usage is different from American. "Pantomime" just means a wordless acting out, as in the game of Charades--in this case, pretending to be a horse. The context would help, but it's probably a simple comparison or simile.

Carol, who's sure there's no deeper meaning in this instance
