they call it a horsefly because it’s a horse, fly

they call it a horsefly because it’s a flying horse

they call it a horsefly because it’s a fly (cool) horse

they call it a horsefly for the same reason they call it a whalefall

they call it a horsefly because of the way it neighs

they call it a horsefly because it’s the zipper on a pair of horse pants

they call it a horsefly because it is a horsefly

they call it a horsefly but they could call it on the phone if they weren’t so nervous

they call it a horsefly because it was the only username they could think of on neopets

they call it a horsefly but they meant to say hoarsefly because its throat is raw from screaming

they call it a horsefly because they’re not yet on a nickname basis

they call it a horsefly becaude horses can’t fly and they value the absurd

they don’t call it a horsefly because they’re referring to it in another language
