"Never look a gift horse in the mouth" or "long in the tooth" are both expressions we often hear but not quite comprehend what it really means. Many may interpret is as "don't question an intelligent person" or "don't question the value of a gift". The following are two types of meaning of the phrase.
THE ETYMOLOGY MEANING:
"Don't check his age." Traditionally, horsemen use teeth as a guide to determine the horse's age. This practice is not foolproof but many factors contribute when evaluating a horse's age. Deciduous teeth (milk teeth) are grown shortly after birth. They're paler and shorter than adult teeth. They gradually shed by the age of five and are replaced by permanent teeth with a concave surface which are larger and darker in colour. At the age of ten , the Galvayne's groove begins to appear and by the age of fifteen the groove would have reached half way down the tooth. When the horse reaches its mid twenties, the Galvayne's groove begins to disappear and entirely vanish, when they are old.
IDIOM MEANING:
a) Don't try to evaluate a gift
b) be appreciative of a gift regardless whether it's big or small, instead of wanting something big and better.
c) be grateful and accept what is given.
d) don't question what is given to you, accept it as it is.
Harry Styles: Don't evaluate a girl by the size of her diamond ring. The grading or ranking scale that its is measured against may not be of importance to her. She may have deliberately skipped Chem class knowing that she will fail the unit on the 4C's.
Pinto's father taught her a valuable lesson in life which is "Never look a gifted horse in the mouth."
Expecting a horse for her 12th birthday, Pinto was disappointed when her father Miguel gifted her a cow in a ribbon.
To go through hard times with no better perspective. To be bankrupt, badly dressed and stinky because you`ve just had a huge scandal at work and the boss (who saw you) decided to fire you. It goes for men and women alike.
My boss fired me! Man, I never though I`ll blow the horse in my puss/ass! I think I`ll sink quite a few tonight.
From one of the first popular jokes using profanity:
Old West Bar, men playing poker. Lone Ranger comes in. "You're all under arrest for gambling!"
The poker players say, "Fuck you!"
"But I'm the Lone Ranger. These are my silver bullets, and that's my horse Silver!"
"Well then fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"
If you think I'm putting out my cigarette in my kitchen then fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

When some one acts superior whereas they are not. Sometimes they are mistaken but usually delusional.
Example is when a man who is trying to see a woman texts her that: “I would love to see you but it seems to me that you want more than what I can give. I don’t want a serious relationship.”
The woman says: “oh please ...get off your high horse. I am just no longer interested”!
Man: “I am not looking for a serious relationship but love seeing you”
Woman: is this guy crazy or what ? Who wants a relationship with you?! Sonshe says: “ oh please... get off your high horse. Relationship?! I am not interested in you anymore. Stop texting me”
