"Pissing contest" nghĩa là gì?
"Pissing contest" = cuộc thi tè -> nghĩa là cuộc đấu giành quyền lãnh đạo, quyền thống trị; nghĩa khác là cuộc tranh cãi, so sánh, đối đầu vặt vãnh, vô ích.
Ví dụ
Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square, has enabled @realDonaldTrump from his first dog whistles in the birther movement to his latest nuclear (nguyên tử) pissing contest.
I understand we had ten days, but I didn't really do what I was supposed to do. I just went out there and got into a pissing contest and I lost. It is what it is.
Well, I have to tell you that this is a tiny price to pay for a fine watch. I’ve spent a lot more money since on far more exotic fare, and I’m still stood at the wet end of the executive pissing contest that occasionally (thỉnh thoảng) breaks out when people talk watches.
