    DYSART: You won't gallop any more, Alan. Horses will be quite safe. You'll save your pennies every week, till you can change that scooter in for a car, and put the odd 50p on the gee-gees, quite forgetting that they were ever anything more to you than bearers of little profits and little losses.

    1973, Peter Shaffer, “Act II, Scene 35”, in Equus, page 109

    I put some money on the gee-gees last week, and I've got to see a bloke about it.
