"Bucket of steam" nghĩa là gì?


"Bucket of steam" = cái xô bằng hơi -> nghĩa là vật không có thật nhưng hay được giao cho thành viên mới để tìm kiếm, thường là để trêu đùa, lòe người mới vào nhóm. 

Ví dụ
A father's video has gone viral after he sent his two daughters into a local autoshop to grab some blinker fluid (dầu tra xi nhan; cũng là thứ không có thật) and a bucket of steam as an April Fools Prank.  Rodney Herbert was parked outside the Auto Zone in Chesterfield, Michigan when his daughters walked outside the store laughing at their embarrassment (xấu hổ) on April 1st.

“We got lots of tricks played on us because we were the boss’s sons. I’d get sent into the kitchens to ask the chef things like ‘I’ve been asked to get a bucket of steam’. You look back and there were 50 people in the kitchen just giggling.”

A third added: "After he's done with that, tell him to fetch a bucket of steam and grab a pair of sky hooks when he gets back."

But once he would start on a job it was a different story. After leaving school, one of his first jobs was as a bricklayer (thợ nề). He said: “I was awful (tệ hại), they used to throw spanners at me and everything. I used to get sent for tartan paint, a bucket of steam.
