"Pipped to the post" có từ pip nghĩa là thắng, đánh bại -> cụm từ này nghĩa là bị đánh bại ở phút cuối, thời khắc quyết định.
Ví dụ
At the time, rumours (tin đồn) suggest that Google’s parent company Alphabet was also eyeing a stake (tiền cọc) in the company, but it seems it was ultimately pipped to the post by its Silicon Valley rival.
Having claimed the First Division crown the previous three seasons, only to be pipped to the post by Burnley during this campaign, Cullis’s charges went into the final as favourites because Blackburn, meanwhile, had finished 17th in the top flight.
But in terms of a favourite player, Ebanks-Blake – cruelly struck down by injuries (vết thương) later on in his career – is just pipped to the post by one of the current attackers. It is not Raul Jimenez either. After all, I cannot think of anyone who has provided me with as much joy (niềm vui) as Diogo Jota.
