Cách sử dụng
The word "afoul" is commonly used to describe situations where two or more things collide, interfere, or go against each other in a negative way. For example, if two boats collide in the water, we might say that they ran afoul of each other. Or if someone breaks a rule or does something inappropriately, they might be said to run afoul of the law or run afoul of social norms. In these contexts, "afoul" means that something has gone wrong or is in conflict with what was expected or desired.
