The internet slang term “Steal Someone’s Thunder” means to take credit for someone else’s ideas, achievements, or accomplishments without their permission. It implies that someone is overshadowing or claiming the spotlight for something that is not originally theirs.
Examples:
– 1. Sarah spent weeks planning a surprise birthday party for her best friend, Julie. On the day of the party, Julie’s other friend, Amy, decided to throw her own surprise party for Julie at the same time. Amy completely stole Sarah’s thunder by making Julie believe she had planned the surprise all along.
– 2. Michael worked tirelessly on a school project for weeks and finally presented it to the class. However, during his presentation, his classmate Rachel interrupted him and started explaining the project as if it were her own. Rachel managed to steal Michael’s thunder and receive the praise from the teacher and classmates.
