Note my corrections above. Don't start a sentence with "and". Don't use "and" and "also" together. It's tautologous. Don't put a space after opening quotation marks. Neither of the phrases you quoted are full sentences.Is the opposite of "get off" inthe sentence"get off one's high horse" "get on"?AndAlso, what doessentence"get on one's high horse" mean?
Well, all I can tell you is that I've rarely heard it in British English. Please remember to capitalise book titles correctly!WOW. I saw be/get on your high horse in the Longman Dictionary!!!
I agree that there are contexts in which it would work but I've still not heard it. In my experience, it's something that's usually said once someone has already started to be supercilious or condescending etc, so it's much more likely that I'd need to say "Oh, get down off your high horse and come and help me!" or similar.I would expect to hear it in something like "Don't go getting up on your high horse now!"
Well done for looking it up!I saw be/get on your high horse in longman dictionary!!!
