'Shake a stick at' (vung gậy chỉ chỏ) -> nghĩa giống như 'điểm mặt, chỉ tên' (to point out, designate, or name), thường được dùng như mệnh đề phụ cuối câu, ý nói quá nhiều, thừa -> không thể kể hết được.
Ví dụ
Between the Christmas trees, the lights and the red and green accents, there are more iconic decorations than you can shake a stick at.
There's more booze than you can shake a stick at in Bruges and, because it takes its beer seriously, every bar offers a lengthy range of ales.
