Your house is a horseless house and your pants are horseless pants.

I want the horseless carriage license plate my state has, but nooooo it has to be before 1929 or something. My carriage has no horse!

car is short for carriage. and if you are shortening things, why bother with the horseless bit.

hmm that just made me realize how did we even arrive at the word “car” ? probably horse carriage -> motor carriage -> motorcar -> car

Why not just carriage, a horse drawn carriage without a horse is just a carriage. No horseless needed.

If you are alone a car, Can we just call it a horseless horse?
MANvINFO@reddit

Petcai@reddit
Well I hope they clean them afterwards.
PyreDynasty@reddit
But my car says it has horsepower so it can't be horseless.
