用法筆記
Always used figuratively, extending the wrestling metaphor. Nearly always appears with a modifying adjective (e.g., 'financial nelson', 'emotional nelson') or a prepositional phrase ('a nelson of obligations'). This sense is much less common than the wrestling sense and is primarily found in informal or journalistic English.
