"Throw a tub to the whale" = ném chậu vào cá voi -> đánh lạc hướng, tránh nguy hiểm hoặc các tình huống xấu. 

Ví dụ 
Crown the truth, or purposely brought it into collision (va chạm) with the people to divert (chuyển hướng) their attention from acts of deeper mischief (trò quỷ tinh ranh hơn), and thus throw a tub to the whale. 

This first ratio shall be to me the golden number of Pythagoras, and he may do as he pleases with all the remaining linksi of an impossible series, which he has started only, I imagine, as we throw out a tub to a whale by way of diversion (chuyển hướng).

“I tell you,” he said, “ 'you have to throw the tub to the whale.' That is, give in some. What you dad means is don't be in here when he or the first sergeant inspects (trung sĩ kiểm tra). Your father comes in here at eleven thirty sharp every morning except Sundays and holidays.
