"Dead men's shoes" = Đôi giày của người quá cố -> Bạn chỉ được thăng chức hoặc được nắm quyền khi người lãnh đạo cấp cao qua đời và bạn sẽ được thay vào vị trí đó của họ. :(
Ví dụ
For years, getting a stand at Tefaf Maastricht was a case of waiting for dead men’s shoes. But with the launch of two New York fairs, much has changed.
We all dream of fishing the best rivers at the peak (cao điểm, đỉnh điểm) of the season but for most of us it remains a dream rather than a reality. During the majority of my fishing career it has been the case that there were rivers or at least some beats on rivers upon which fishing was simply unattainable not because it was not to let, at a price, but because demand far exceeded supply resulted in the hackneyed (nhàm) phrase “waiting for dead mens shoes” even for those with the substantial funds available to fill them.
The first aisles of the 31st edition of Tefaf Maastricht (which opened on 8 March and runs through 18 March) are testament to a changing of the guard in the Old Master world, still this fair's bread and butter. Only five years ago, getting a stand in the Mecc Maastricht was a case of waiting for dead men’s shoes—it was an old boys' club, new exhibitors a rarity (sự hiếm có). This year, there are 16 first timers among the 275 exhibitors, from antiquities specialists (Galerie Chenel and Safani Gallery) to Modern and contemporary art galleries (among them Perrotin, Massimo de Carlo and Mazzoleni).
