Lusitano nag

This is a horse, who is really bad at racing or anything else pretty much, even though it is entered for so many races and other events you would think it was about to give up and become a politician.

It is also the kind of persistent appeal for approval that certain people make, and that other people get real tired of real quick.

An often used phrase in the North West of England, it refers to anything that is old, redundant, slow, or obselete. A Lusitano Nag can be an item that is no longer up to date, an idea that is no longer valid or a person who has done something irrevocably stupid.

The phrase originates from the horse breed, Lusitano. The Lusitano is considered one of the best breeds in the world, but once old, like a car or aging prostitute, its value decreases rapidly before it is thrown to the knackers yard.
