Ví dụ
I call shotgun. This is my first bush-plane ride and I’m not giving up the best seat for our 90-minute flight from Vancouver to a remote (ở xa) lake in the middle of British Columbia’s Chilcotin plateau. My son, Jack, can sit up here on the return flight.
The A3 offers five seats, but only four people will sit in comfort (thoải mái), and the tallest passengers better call shotgun because rear head room can be cramped. The A3’s short end limits cargo space to 10.9 cubic feet, and it’s even less on S3 and RS 3 grades, but the rear seats fold flat to expand the space in the cramped trunk.
The 1954 western movie titled "Riding Shotgun", with Randolph Scott and Joan Weldon, also chronicled (ghi chép) the life of a stagecoach (xe ngựa tuyến) guard in the Old West. People often call shotgun to claim things other than a car seat, also known as calling "dibs."
Experts say it seeped into popular culture by the 1950s and was entrenched by the 1960s, after extensive use by the film and television industries. Americans used it to indicate the front passenger car seat, then shortened the term to "shotgun" and began requesting the seat, as in, "I call shotgun."
