"The short straw" = cọng rơm ngắn -> nghĩa là kết quả ít thuận lợi/mong muốn/ít may mắn nhất.

Ví dụ
Jessica keeps drawing the short straw for some reason and winding up on the outside of everything, which has to feel personal (cá nhân) and so hurtful (đau đớn). With Nicole and Cliff being invited into the "new six," Jess is now the only HG in the house to have not been a part of that power alliance (liên minh) at one point or another and now she must feel truly alone ... unless, of course, Nicole is only pretending (giả vờ) to be a part of it.

The final will be played in the UK in June 2021‚ after 71 matches (trận đấu) in 27 series. And‚ much like they did in the 2019 World Cup‚ when they played three games — including against joint favourites England and India — in the opening week‚ SA have drawn the short straw.

Manchester United manager (quản lý) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes English clubs have "picked the short straw" when it comes to the transfer window closing next week, despite most teams in Europe having until the end of August.
