"Wriggle off the hook" = luồn lách qua lưỡi câu -> nghĩa là tránh phải làm gì (giống như con cá mắc câu nhưng vẫn thoát được).

Ví dụ
While Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather) has been confirmed as the one who dealt the killer blow, it has come to light that Kim tried to take out a hit (hạ gục) on Graham, but, in true Kim style, she has managed to wriggle off the hook.

A man who was caught with child abuse (lạm dụng trẻ em) images on his computer tried to pin them on his innocent (vô tội) dad. Matthew Wright, 26, had done "everything possible to wriggle off the hook," a judge (thẩm phán) told him.

As their ill-advised (nhẹ dạ), ill-fated (xấu số), self-immolating (tự thiêu) impeachment (tố cáo) obsession has exposed — they knew all along the president would wriggle off the hook, but went fishing anyway — Democrats (Đảng Dân chủ) want to make 2020 about one thing and one thing only: Donald J. Trump.
