'Give short shrift' có từ shrift là sự xưng tội, short shrift là thời gian chờ thi hành án (a brief time for confession or absolution given to a condemned prisoner before his or her execution) -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không thèm để ý đến ai/điều gì (to give very little attention to someone or something).
Ví dụ
Real Madrid give short shrift to €50m Liverpool approach.
The suggestion they need to prove something to the English public gets short shrift from O'Brien.
Spurs are 14 points ahead of them, having played a game more, but Wenger gave short shrift to talk of a power shift.
Mr. Gordon can be forgiven for giving such short shrift to Davos types who have no sense of history: driverless cars will change the world less than the invention of cars in the first place.
