I don't have your goat. BTW what does <gg> mean? Here's Where The Saying Came From! Do you know that the term "Don't let them get your goat"? It actually came from a time when racehorse owners and trainers use to keep a goat around the stable to calm the horses down and act as companion animals for them. When it was a race day for a particular horse, it was common for the opposing staff to try and sabotage the race by stealing the goat of the barn that was entered against them in the race. When the goat was taken, the horse would become very nervous and often did not do as well in the race. It eventually became customary for supporters to wish their favorite teams good luck by saying "Don't let them get your goat!" Life is better, you see, when there are goats around! Baaaa!
