Cách sử dụng
The expression "chew the fat" means to have a casual conversation with someone, usually while sitting and relaxing. It is often used when two friends or acquaintances catch up with each other and talk about their lives, share stories or gossip. The phrase originated in the US in the early 1800s when people used to chew tough pieces of meat to soften them, and this action took a long time, giving them ample time to talk with their friends. Now, the phrase is used figuratively to mean spending time discussing anything and everything.
