Ví dụ
Once grandpa gets on his hobby-horse about the government, there's no stopping him!
It is a wonder that any of us are still listening to him when he gets on his hobby horse about referees' chief Keith Hackett.

I can't imagine that she will endorse his hobby horse proclaimed during the election – that the Department for Education should be scrapped. He is all in favour of "local choice" for parents and believes you do not need a centralised structure to support that. Of course, it’s not as simple as that and you do need someone to oversee the system.
