step on a rake (в прямом смысле – идиомы с граблями в значении "допустить ошибку" в английском нет superduperpuper); trigger a backlash (13.02.2023 comment by superduperpuper: это не про грабли, просто "вызвать реакцию" – ну вот, нет у них такой идиомы: If you want to trigger a backlash, this is exactly the way to do it.

step on the teeth of a rake (Bobbie is a fun-loving girl, and the memory of her reaction when in the garden at Skeldings I had once stepped on the teeth of a rake and had the handle jump up and hit me on the tip of the nose was still laid away among my souvenirs. She had been convulsed with mirth. (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver) |
