This video is part 148 of a series on American idioms. It will present five new idioms, numbered 736 to 740. Viewers are encouraged to pause the video to guess the meanings of each idiom before the answers are revealed with additional examples.

The idiom "get off one's high horse" means to stop acting as if one is better or superior to others. The example illustrates a new boss needing to listen to experienced employees rather than acting superior, and another example discusses media reporting facts without bias, implying the media shouldn't act superior.

"Bean counter" refers to anyone whose role heavily focuses on tracking numbers and controlling budgets, like an accountant. The example shows how bean counters rejected a project due to its cost, and another example talks about the president's bean counters forecasting a budget.

A "stone cold" person is entirely devoid of emotion, empathy, or remorse. The video uses the example of a nice family man becoming a stone cold killer, and another example describes a teacher as stone cold for being very strict about punctuality, not allowing late students into class.

To "run out of gas" means to lose energy or enthusiasm after a period of exertion. This is explained metaphorically, like a car running out of fuel. Examples include a sports team losing energy and enthusiasm in the second half of a game, and a person losing energy after studying for 10 hours straight.

The idiom "smack down" means to severely reprimand or criticize someone or a group, used figuratively like a physical hit. Examples include a manager harshly criticizing a team for missing a deadline and a president quickly criticizing rumors about their marriage infidelity.
