Cách sử dụng
"So to speak" is an expression people use when they want to explain something in a way that's not exactly true but helps to make their point more clear. It's like saying "sort of" or "in a manner of speaking." For example, if someone says "I'm a bookworm, so to speak," they don't actually mean that they're a literal worm that lives in books. Instead, they're saying that they really enjoy reading a lot. Another example might be someone saying "I'm the boss around here, so to speak." They're not actually the boss, but they're in charge of certain things or have a lot of influence over a situation. It's a casual expression that can be used in conversation, but it's not often used in formal writing or presentations.
