뜻
To behave in an arrogant or condescending way.
문화적 배경
The Dutch 'Maaiveldcultuur' (ground-level culture) means that anyone who sticks their head above the grass (the 'maaiveld') gets criticized. 'Uit de hoogte doen' is the primary verbal tool for this social leveling. In Flanders, social hierarchy is slightly more accepted than in the Netherlands, but 'uit de hoogte doen' is still a strong negative. Flemish people might use 'dikdoenerij' as a synonym. In Surinamese Dutch, social status and 'respect' are very important. 'Uit de hoogte doen' is used, but there is also a strong emphasis on 'verhevenheid' (loftiness). Afrikaans has the cognate 'uit die hoogte doen'. It carries the same weight and is used in similar social contexts to describe arrogance.
Use 'zo'
Adding 'zo' (so) makes the phrase sound much more natural when criticizing someone: 'Doe niet zo uit de hoogte!'
It's an insult
Be careful using this directly to someone. It is a direct attack on their social skills and character.

The 'Normal' Rule
In the Netherlands, even if you are the CEO, you are expected NOT to do 'uit de hoogte'. Humility is a power move.
