"A kick in the shins" = đá vào cẳng chân -> nghĩa là thất bại hoàn toàn (đáng thất vọng); hoặc (nghĩa khác là) hình phạt nghiêm khắc đối với hành động/cư xử ngu ngốc.

Ví dụ
Reactions to the Liberal win in Alberta were glum (buồn bã), with local media opining that the oil industry had “a lot on the line,” and calling the result a “kick in the shins” for the province (tỉnh).

The Black Shark 2 was only just released (trình làng) in March, so this is something a kick in the shins of those who bought it. The Black Shark 2 Pro isn't really a big upgrade, truth be told, but it does bring a few improvements (cải tiến).

Even the Liberal’s new plan to fund green solutions from the operations of the Trans Mountain Pipeline feels like a kick in the shins.
