Cách sử dụng
"The thin end of the wedge" is an expression used to describe a situation where a small and seemingly harmless change, action, or decision sets off a chain of events that leads to bigger, more serious consequences. It can be used to caution against taking actions that may seem insignificant or harmless, but could have negative implications later on.
