Thành ngữ này có nghĩa là ý kiến của mình không thể đứng vững được, hay không có lý lẽ gì để bào chữa cho hành động của mình.
Ví dụ
“Paul recently was accused of plagiarizing a school assignment ! He threatened to sue his teacher until she showed him a near copy of his work from the internet. At that point, he realized that he was without a leg to stand on (hết đường bào chữa).”
“Mom and dad are so unbelievable. They’re always warning us not to smoke or drink alcohol. Yet we know that’s exactly what they did when they were teenagers. We don’t feel we should have to listen to them anymore since they’re without a leg to stand on (‘há miệng mắc quai’ rồi).”
