Cách sử dụng
The phrase "smooth over" is used to describe an action in which someone tries to make a difficult or awkward situation seem better or less severe. It suggests that someone is trying to calm or reassure another person in order to make something less troublesome. For example, let's say two friends had an argument and now they're not talking to each other. A third friend could try to "smooth things over" by talking to both of them separately and helping them to find a way to make up and go back to being friends.
