Cách sử dụng
The word 'crony' refers to a friend or associate whom someone often spends time with, particularly in a dishonest or unethical manner. It is generally used in a negative sense to describe a relationship where people help each other with favors or support, rather than on the basis of merit or integrity. For example, politicians may appoint their cronies to important government positions or a business owner may give lucrative contracts to his or her cronies, rather than hiring qualified individuals through a fair and open process.
