smokin' horse

Something (like a task) that you're really looking up against and have been postponing to the max. Now you have to get started and do a major task in a much to short time to be ready before the deadline.
I have only tonight left to write the whole text of my companies website...... smokin' horse!

don't push the horses

During their rematch on July 19, 2025, Usyk told Dubois' team, "Don’t push the horses."

He directly translated it from Ukrainian, which is incorrect and makes almost no sense, but it's an euphemism for "Calm down," or "Don’t rush things."
He meant they were getting too confident or trying to act like they'd already won - and he was telling them to chill.

The English version of "Don't push the horses" would be something like "Hold your horses".
Usyk: Let's go, don't push the horses.
Charles: Pardon me?
Usyk: Don't push the horses.

A four horse day

A four horse day could mean a couple things, depending on who is speaking.

For example, it could mean:
"It's a very busy day at work"
Or
"It's nice to have so much free time to ride my horses"

A popular saying in the 20's, it had disappeared for several decades but has been making a comeback in recent years.
I can come out for one more, but I've got a four horse day tomorrow so I want to hit the hay before too late.

Man, I've been working so hard lately, can't wait for Sunday, it'll be a real four horse day!
