A deer is a horse.

Thanks.

I definitely never want to sell any of this out into tabloid material. I wanted to reclaim the concept, too.

I'd seriously like to meet the man who can ride a f---ing deer for more than six seconds. Or woman. Or precocious child.

Cool story. I asked my Chinese friend and she said it is a very common idiom in China, to look at a deer and call it a horse. But what idiom do we have like that in English? I can only think of the opposite, calling spade a spade. We have the story, The Emperor's New Clothes. I wonder if that is based on this Chinese tale.

We may be beyond the forming of an idiom that implies conspiracy, which would necessarily have to be theoretical. Sigh.

We have the idiom of “piss on my leg and tell me that it’s raining”, a partial match
