'Have an ace up one's sleeve' = có quân át trong găng tay. Từ này bắt nguồn từ việc người chơi bài gian lận, giấu bài trong găng tay để dễ dàng tráo bài -> một kế hoạch, ý tưởng hay lợi thế bí mật có thể tung ra khi cần. Kiểu như 'vũ khí bí mật' đó mấy bạn
Ví dụ
Sure, I knew nothing about writing more than 700 words, but how hard could it be? I’d just add a few zeros. Ironically (thú vị, kì lạ), zero was the number of ideas I had for a novel. But I did have an ace up my sleeve: a location.
"She has made all of our lives a living hell," Zagaja said, reading from the letter. "But I have an ace up my sleeve. I'm just waiting for the time to use it. ... Also, if you should see any activity at 154 Naomi Drive, call me. Please call me. This bitch has to be stopped."
"I just so happen to have an ace up my sleeve, JR," he said. The greatest battles and wars in history weren't won with the biggest weapons (vũ khí) or the strongest soldiers, they were won with the greatest minds." Suddenly WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard walked into the frame. He shook Spears' hand, whispered in his ear and told JR that the interview (phỏng vấn) was over.
