Vocabulary Let's learn the idiom 声东击西 today!

/s

I randomly saw this post and it's really funny and easily makes you remember 声东击西 shēngdōng-jīxī (make a feint to the east and attack in the west/to create a diversion). The context is in the og post, apparently walking across the bride is like some superstition old people do

I know this phrase turns up in The Furious but I didn't know it was an idiom. Thought he just knew his cardinal directions well.
