"Beat (their) chest" nghĩa là gì?

"Beat (someone's) chest/breast" = đấm ngực thùm thụp -> cụm từ này nghĩa là công khai bày tỏ cảm xúc hoặc quan điểm mà ai đó không thực sự ủng hộ.

Ví dụ
Straight couples walking down the street never feel uncomfortable, and they’ve never faced barriers (rào cản) to marriage or adoption (việc nhận con nuôi) based on their sexuality (bản năng giới tính). Straight people certainly have nothing to be ashamed of with their heterosexuality (tính thích giao hợp với người khác giới), but there’s no reason to beat their chest about it, either.

Okay, here we go for week two. Who gets to beat their chest and gloat over (nhìn hau háu) the battle for prediction supremacy (uy thế) with our contributors? Last year, Brent Reeves took the title, but he’s gotten out of the gate like an injured thoroughbred (ngựa nòi). Can he pick it up, and more importantly, can the whole crew do better against the spread than week one?

It’s almost impossible not to talk about the dexterity (tài khéo léo) displayed by Vanessa Selbst during the tournment. According to most people, they can beat their chest proudly to say that she’s the best female poker to have ever graced the game. She returned to the fold while she was juggling between jobs when she decided to trade playing as a full-time poker prof for that of a hedge fund trader (thương nhân liều lĩnh bất chấp rủi ro vì lợi nhuận lớn).
