Cách sử dụng
"Play possum" is a phrase that means pretending to be asleep, unconscious or dead to avoid danger or trouble. It comes from the behavior of the possum, a small animal that looks like it is dead when it is frightened or threatened. For example, if someone is being chased by a dog, they might "play possum" by lying still on the ground as if they were unconscious so the dog would lose interest and leave them alone. It can also be used figuratively, to describe someone who is pretending to be unaware of what is going on around them or is pretending to not be interested in something.
