Horse 'em

Extracted from some source code:

else {

/* Some weird channel mapping was requested; horse 'em.

*

* A note to the curious. The phrase "horse 'em" comes

* from an American television commercial in which Santa

* Claus is trying to determine what toys particular children

* should get. If a child wasn't sufficiently precise in

* his or her description of a desired toy, an evil

* elf would hold out a boring rocking horse and suggest

* in a malevolent manner that Santa "Horse 'em."

* The phrase thus suggests the provision of a satisfactory

* but non-optimal or unexciting solution to a problem.
