Cách sử dụng
The expression "tar and feather somebody" is used when someone wants to punish or publicly shame someone else. Historically, it was a physical punishment used in the past where someone would be coated with tar and then have feathers stuck to them. This would make them look silly and be humiliated. Nowadays, the expression is used more figuratively to mean exposing someone's wrongdoing or actions to public scrutiny and public shame. It is not a good or appropriate way to solve problems and should be avoided.
