Every Saturday I'll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.
get off one’s high horse: to stop being arrogant, to begin to be humble and agreeable
Example:
Maybe more people would like Sam if he got off his high horse, instead of boasting about how much money he has.
go ape: to go crazy or act wildly with excitement; get agitated
Example:
The children went ape as soon as they reached the playground, and ran excitedly from one piece of equipment to the other.
