"White-knuckle (ride)" nghĩa là ( chuyến đi) căng thẳng hoặc sợ hãi tột độ. Nghĩa khác là nắm chặt cái gì đến nỗi ngón tay chuyển sang màu trắng.

Ví dụ
Audible has snapped up an exclusive (độc quyền) “white-knuckle suspense” thriller (phim kinh dị) from Kindle bestseller Paddy Magrane.

Thrill seekers (người tìm kiếm cảm giác mạnh) may never have to queue (xếp hàng) for white- knuckle rides again as theme parks draw up plans for a safe reopening.

When you think of intense (hồi hộp), white-knuckle thrill rides, you probably think of skydiving (nhảy dù), whitewater rafting (chèo thuyền vượt ghềnh thác), or that one roller coaster at Great America where you had to stand up and your head got knocked around so often you’d get a concussion (chấn động).

With the Queensland Government still running a ban (lệnh cấm) on driver licence testing during the coronavirus pandemic, and no clearance (cho phép) for interstate workers to travel into harvest (thu hoạch) districts, it's a white knuckle ride into the start of harvesting in the Burdekin, set to start on June 2 at Wilmar's Inkerman Mill, followed by Invicta Kalamia and Pioneer mills on June 9.
