"Go down like ninepins (trò chơi ky chín con)" -> nghĩa là thua, không chống nổi bệnh tật; bị tiêu diệt hoặc chết cùng lúc.

Ví dụ
It was a nightmare (cơn ác mộng) of a match that will haunt Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle for long, where these great batsmen saw their entire batting order go down like ninepins on Sunday.

De Villiers didn’t dismiss Ireland’s recent injury crisis that has seen props go down like ninepins, suggesting there will be no diminution (sự giảm bớt) in Ireland’s effectiveness come scrum time on Saturday evening at the Aviva stadium.

Daadi recalls the day when Abhay's father was thrown out from the house in a similar way. Abhay tells them that he will soon return with evidences and then this family will go down like ninepins. He leaves. Anika tries to change Shivaay's mood by asking him to throw his mobile phone in the swimming pool. She asks him not to take his words to heart. She tells him that no one can change his equation (sự cân bằng) with his brothers.
