[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3415337, member: 99642"]Horseshoes is a game in which 2 people throw actual horseshoes at a metal stick in the ground. If you get your shoe around the stick, it's called a "ringer". If no one gets a ringer, then whoever's shoe is closest to the stick scores. That's why people use the expression of "It's not horseshoes" to say " You're close but not quite there". There's another old expression that says " Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ". What we are saying is that most of your examples are [I]close[/I] to what you think they are, but not quite there. Except for the ones I pointed out : you have two binaries and one repeater.[/QUOTE]
