"Left holding the baby" = bị bỏ lại giữ đứa trẻ -> nhận toàn bộ trách nhiệm hoặc lỗi lầm đáng lẽ nên chia sẻ với người khác và thường được sử dụng bởi người Anh.

Ví dụ
He was left holding the financial baby when his musical partner joined another band.

Agreeing that Tories in Brussels had been “left holding the baby”, he said: “I’m not particularly (đặc biệt) enthusiastic (hăng hái) about the prospect (toàn cảnh) and these elections will be difficult."

Ahmed Jacob, CTO and Dubai-based Managing Partner of the Blockchain Investment INVAO says, “The pattern (khuôn mẫu) is similar to what we have seen in earlier crypto (tiền ảo) sell-offs (giảm giá). Institutional (cơ quan) investors liquidate (khử; thủ tiêu) highly leveraged (có ảnh hưởng) positions and retail investors who don’t know what’s going on are left holding the baby. Anyone who invests in crypto markets needs to keep their eyes on the ball because things can go south very quickly.”
