"Hit dog" nghĩa là gì?

"Hit dog" = chó bị đánh -> nghĩa là người dễ bị tổn thương, tức tối như kiểu ai đó nói điều gì là nghĩ họ kháy mình; 'mong manh dễ vỡ', 'bông tuyết'.

Ví dụ

We have to believe that Lin Ford, angel of the slums (nhà ổ chuột), is such a hit dog about this one issue of pride that he won't listen.

As they say, a hit dog will always holler. This time, it’s an attorney (luật sư) for Donald Trump who thought it would be wise to use her Twitter platform (nền tảng) to refer to Simone Biles and Megan Rapinoe as “losers.”

Mo Vaughn, the “Hit Dog,” was as feared in his prime (thời đỉnh cao, huy hoàng) as any other legendary Red Sox masher. While Vaughn’s list of achievements isn’t as lengthy, at his peak he was as complete a package as there was at the plate. He combined power and average to define 1990s-era Red Sox superstardom (siêu sao) in a way only Nomar Garciaparra approached among everyday players.
