Cách sử dụng
"Draw the short straw" means to be selected or assigned an unpleasant or difficult task or position. It comes from a practice where people would draw straws of varying lengths to determine who would have to perform a certain task or duty. If someone drew the shortest straw, they would be the one assigned the undesirable task. We use the expression "draw the short straw" when someone is given the worst option out of a group of options or is picked for something unpleasant or negative.
