The Origins and Meaning of Joe Biden’s “Lying Dog-Faced Pony Soldier” Phrase Revealed

Joe Biden’s recent use of the phrase “lying dog-faced pony soldier” has raised questions about its origin and meaning. It turns out that the phrase is a composite of memories from two John Wayne movies, according to an investigation of the former vice president’s filmography. The word “pony” likely comes from Chief John Big Tree’s character in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, while the phrase “dog soldier” comes from a scene in which Ben Johnson’s character reports on an Indian attack. The word “lying” may have been borrowed from The Quiet Man, in which John Wayne’s character denies an accusation. Although the phrase is nonsensical, it seems to be an amalgamation of memories that has taken on a life of its own.
