"Put the skids (sự trượt, xuống dốc) under" = làm cho ai/cái gì bị thất bại.

Ví dụ
Nottinghamshire Police teamed up with three neighbouring forces during a cross-border operation aiming to put the skids under the illegal and anti-social use of off-road motorbikes and quad bikes.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) encourages whistleblowers (nhân viên kiểm soát) to speak out within the Justice Dept., "If you’re seeing things that are really wrong, you can do what a lot of whistleblowers did at the EPA that put the skids under Scott Pruitt.”

Their partnership put the skids under Pakistan and threatened to take Lanka home from a hopeless situation. Jayasuriya fell four runs short of a century, but got a pat on the back from Shanaka, the skipper for the T20I series. Having already shelled the chance of winning the series, the visitors will be looking to at least draw level when the teams lock horns in the third ODI in the national capital.
