"Thin edge of the wedge" = cạnh sắc của cái nêm -> nghĩa là những thay đổi hoặc diễn biến nhỏ báo trước những điều không lành hoặc kết cục xấu.

Ví dụ
It’s on the thin edge of the wedge to even use the terminology (thuật ngữ) of this town being “predominantly Aboriginal” as I have never seen InDaily using the terminology of a town being “predominantly white.”

‘Murwillumbah Hospital has a well-functioning, stable and busy ED which retains staff and which the community relies on (dựa vào), and people have serious concerns that these cuts could be the thin edge of the wedge for eventually closing down the hospital.

They will not be the only ones anxious that this is the thin edge of the wedge. What other disadvantaged groups may they later have to report on in the era of identity politics and interlocking circles of oppression (đàn áp)?
