'A lonely little petunia in an onion patch' = nhành dã yên thảo cô độc trong vườn hành -> nghĩa là người đứng ngoài cuộc (trong các cuộc tranh luận nảy lửa...), người bình tĩnh nhất trong nhóm người đang hung hăng, nóng tính. Cụm từ lấy từ bài hát cùng tên phát hành năm 1946 của Johnny Kimano, Billy Faber, và Maurie Hartmann.

ACCORDING TO MY WIFE, a weed is anything growing in the wrong place, like "a lonely little petunia in an onion patch." My wife says if it has no right to be there, dispatch (giải quyết) it, shake it out by the roots, throw it out on the compost (phân trộn) pile.

The onions stepped aside to reveal a large flower hat and, hiding beneath it, Jenny clad (phủ) in purple and pink. Then the surprise of the night. That little girl opened her mouth. 'I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch...' Her voice was strong and sweet. Heads lifted, feet stilled their shuffling as the petunia wiped at mock tears.
