【出处】
“趾高气扬”出自《左传·桓公十三年》：“楚屈瑕伐罗，斗伯比送之，还，谓甚御曰：‘莫敖必败，举趾高，心不固矣。’”《史记·管偃列传》也载：“拥大盖，策驷马，意气扬扬，甚自得也。”此成语用来形容自高自大、得意忘形。
公元前701年春，楚国掌管军政的莫敖屈瑕，率军在郧国的城邑蒲骚（今应城西北）与郧、随、蓼等诸侯国的联军作战。由于对方盟国众多，气势盛大，屈瑕盛为恐慌。于是，他准备请求楚王增派军队。将军斗廉反对这样做，斗廉认为，敌方盟国虽多，但人心不齐，斗志不坚，只要打败郧国，整个盟国就会分崩离析。他建议集中兵力迅速攻破蒲骚。屈瑕采纳了斗廉的建议，猛攻蒲骚，大获全胜。这就是有名的“蒲骚之战”。
但是，屈瑕并无自知之明，把别人的功劳都算在自己的身上。因而骄傲起来，自以为是常胜将军，从此任何敌人都不放在眼里。
过了两年，楚玉又派屈瑕率军去攻罗国。出师那天，屈瑕全身披挂，向送行的官员告别，然后登上华美的战车，威风凛凛地扬长而去。
送行的大夫斗伯比返回时对御手说：“莫敖这次出征要吃败仗的！你看他那副趾高气扬的样子，还能冷静地、正确地指挥作战吗。”
斗伯比越想越感不妥，就吩咐御手驾车到王宫，求见楚王。他建议楚王给屈瑕增加军队，但楚王没答应。
屈瑕到了前线，更加不可一世。竟然下令军中“敢谏者处于极刑”。武断专横到了极点。
楚军来到罗国都城时，对方早就整军待战。屈瑕毫不在意。但部队随地驻扎，一点也不做戒备。
罗军联合卢襦（今襄樊市西南）的军队猛烈攻击。楚军马上溃散，死伤惨重。屈瑕乘着一辆战车，狼狈而逃。出征时那种趾高气扬的样子早已不见了。
屈瑕逃到楚国境内一个叫荒谷的地方，发现只剩孤身一人，好不悲伤，自缢而亡。

【剧情简介】
Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff has just been installed as the new president of Huxley College. His cavalier attitude toward education is not reserved for his son Frank, who is seeing the college widow, Connie Bailey. Frank influences Wagstaff to recruit two football players who hang out in a speakeasy, in order to beat rival school Darwin. Unfortunately, Wagstaff mistakenly hires the misfits Baravelli and Pinky. Finding out that Darwin has beaten him to the "real" players, Wagstaff enlists Baravelli and Pinky to kidnap them, which leads to an anarchic football finale.
