"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" is a pleasant expression that emphasizes the importance of appreciating gifts and opportunities without criticizing or questioning their details. In its literal meaning, it suggests that when receiving a gift, especially a valuable one like a horse, it is neither appropriate nor courteous to meticulously examine its teeth (which is a way of assessing the age and health of a horse). However, of course, our horse holds a nice surprise.

Therefore, the saying advises us to know how to accept what is given to us without overthinking it, first by expressing gratitude for the kind gesture; then, avoiding discourtesy, such as analyzing the quality of the gift, highlighting any defects, or, much less, inquiring about its price – what a barbarity!

As an additional note, it's worth mentioning that the same method was applied in times when human slavery was widespread. When buying a slave, their dentition was taken into account not only because it gave an idea of age but also because it served as a kind of guarantee. The better the condition of the teeth, the more trust could be placed in their overall health. Such is the importance of dental features for those who know how to interpret them.

We hope that this shirt emphasizes in you the importance of appreciating and enjoying the gifts of life!
