The ox's head is not the horse's

It means that the answer is wrong or wrong.

Idioms and allusions

Source: Chapter 24 of Li Baojia's a brief history of civilization in the Qing Dynasty: "it's a bull's head, not a horse's face." example: for the time being, there is no ox head and horse face. They are the enchanting messengers in hell, just like ghosts and monsters. When someone dies, go to seduce. Originally, there was only a cow's head. In order to make the cow's head have a pair, we added a horse face. Ox head and horse face are not a pair, so we add a "no" between them, which means that things are not related.

Discrimination of words
