 * A slightly strangely defined high horse and a separate on one's high horse (really the only phrase it appears in) make me vacillate. Hmm, delete: of course, one can get off one's high horse as well. Equinox ◑ 16:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Of 151 "soapbox" hits at COCA, more than a majority are for the figurative sense. Only 34 are of the form "on * soapbox" and not all "*"s are possessive personal pronouns. It doesn't seem quite as strong a case as the "high horse" (30/71). (I am surprised it's not higher, but there is usage like "why don't you get off your high horse and ...".)

 * Delete or redirect to soapbox. DCDuring TALK 16:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Deleted. No redirect because it's not linked to from the main space, apart from soapbox which I removed. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
