Ross

I believe the answer is:

gift horse

(Other definitions for gift horse that I've seen before include "Don't look one in the mouth" , "Hack, perhaps, given" , "Trojan present?" , "'Never look a . . . . . . . . . in the mouth'" , "Chance benefit (oral exam not recommended!)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
