Bum steer

這是從本地友人學的。

Bum steer: misleading instructions or guidance; a misleading suggestion. Typically: get bum steer; have bum steer; give someone bum steer

Examples:

Wilbur gave Ted a bum steer and Ted ended up in the wrong town.

I got a bum steer from the salesman, and I paid far more than I needed to for a used car.

Popty ping

開場白

看了angee C9的英文筆記,忍不住抄襲,記錄日常聽來的英文。
