Cách sử dụng
"Swing the lead" is an old English saying that means someone is pretending to be sick or injured in order to avoid doing work. It's often used in a joking way to accuse someone of being lazy or faking illness to get out of work. For example, if a co-worker calls in sick for the third time in a month, someone might say "Oh, he's just swinging the lead again." This expression is not used very often nowadays, and may not be understood by everyone.
