A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind horse

proverb meaning

The phrase "A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse" is an idiom used to convey the idea that it doesn't make much difference how something is communicated or hinted at, as long as the recipient is unable to perceive or understand it. In other words, it suggests that subtle or indirect communication is just as effective as more overt or direct communication when the recipient is oblivious or indifferent to the message. For example, if someone is completely unaware or uninterested in a situation or a hint being dropped, you might say, "Well, a nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse," to imply that it doesn't matter how the information is conveyed because the person in question won't get it anyway. It's often used in a humorous or resigned manner to acknowledge that the message is not being received or understood.
