How it's used

It describes situations where someone forcefully shifts the focus of a conversation or takes control of a public platform to serve their own agenda. It carries a strong sense of unwelcome interference or disruption.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe simple theft or pickpocketing, as it specifically implies an act of taking control by force or coercion. It is not a synonym for stealing objects like a wallet or phone.
