Cách sử dụng
The word 'navvy' is an old-fashioned term used to refer to a manual laborer who worked on building projects like canals, railroads, and roads. It was commonly used in the 19th century and early 20th century. Nowadays, the word is considered outdated and may be perceived as offensive or derogatory. So, it is better to avoid using it and use more appropriate and respectful words like construction worker or laborer instead.
