"Kiss my feet" nghĩa là gì?

Xin Ngài hãy dẫn dắt con. Photo by Ben White

"Kiss (one's) feet" = hôn chân ai -> nghĩa là qùy gối cầu xin sự giúp đỡ, ân huệ từ ai.

Ví dụ
“If a coach takes a team to the Finals four out of five years, I’ll kiss his feet on Fear Factor. With cheese on it. I would. It will never be done again."

A mother was distraught (quẫn trí, điên cuồng) after seeing a video of bullies (bắt nạt) holding a gun to her 13-year-old son’s head and demanding he kiss their feet.

If these complainants (những người phàn nàn) are hoping that a big corporation will make its apologies and swoop in to kiss their feet, they’re in for a big surprise. It isn’t that complaints are unimportant, but it’s easy to recognize when the complaint is legitimate (hợp pháp, chính đáng) and when it’s being made out of ignorance or contempt (sự khinh bỉ); it’s also easy to spot when the person at fault isn’t the medical staff but the rather larger context of our health system.
