“Behind the bit” = đằng sau hàm thiếc ngựa -> nghĩa là (về) ngựa, đánh đầu về phía sau, tránh bị căng quá khi người cưỡi ngựa kéo dây cương.

Ví dụ

I have a horse that's very delicate and likes to hide behind the bit and this little change in thinking improved my riding a lot.

I slow his rush with my body but then as I do he comes behind the bit so then I have to chase him forward again. It all seems like a vicious circle.

“We were anxious to start him on his own doorstep and what better place than here in a race he’s won before and obviously he has good form here. I’m delighted with that. Billy said he gave him a great feel and that’s the most important part of the day. “I liked the way he looked to race just behind the bit all the time.

“On it like a car bonnet” = có nắp ca-po đậy trên -> nghĩa là tình huống, vấn đề nằm trong tầm kiểm soát.

Ví dụ

Bradford City are on it like a car bonnet, appointing Stuart McCall as manager for the third time after ditching Gary Bowyer. West Ham will install two new tiers of seats closer to their London Stadium pitch in time for the 2020-21 Championship season. And two South Korean fans have been awarded $312 in compensation after Cristiano Ronaldo failed to play in Juve’s pre-season trip to Seoul last year.

Of course, we’re all only human - I call myself a pescatarian, yet whenever my carnivore (động vật ăn thịt, cây ăn sâu bọ) spouse has some meaty treat - sorry, ‘poor murdered animal’ - on his plate, I watch his progress like a particularly predatory hawk and the minute he gives up the goat I will be on it like a car bonnet with many a weasel (con chồn, né tránh) word about how it would be the final insult to the dear dead creature to chuck it in the bin when it could be providing me with the nourishment needed in order for me to further the righteous cause of anti-carnivorism (không ăn thịt).

Yes, this came out back in February 2020 (even though it seems like years ago now!) and I still think about how good it was to this day. Sometimes when the original creator revisits their old work, it’s usually to make some quick cash and it almost always is never as good as you want it to be. This Death Note one-shot is the exception to that rule. Despite the amount of Death Note media that is out there, I wanted MORE after this one-shot, and if Tsugumi Ohba did announce that he would come back for a full new series, I would be on it like a car bonnet.

“On the pull” -> nghĩa là ra ngoài đi chơi đêm để tìm bạn tình.

Ví dụ

Freed gangster Ger Dundon is on the pull after prison release. The 27-year-old mobster clutches a female pal during boozy night out.

I WAS swept off my feet by a man I thought would be the father of my children. But fast-forward two years and I am convinced he was using me to babysit his children while he went out on the pull. I feel like a complete mug.

The one who is on the pull. This girl loves a flirtatious drinking game and is probably drinking vodka and something. If there are boys at your pres forget about talking to her all evening. If it’s a girls only pres then expect her to be taking fit pictures for her Instagram and casually messaging a few boys to see who is out tonight.
