I propose a more succinct definition - "to be unfairly targeted"

这是个几年前才出现的网络用语,”躺着也中枪“的缩写,字面意思是“尽管只是躺在旁边,也被枪射中了”。表达自己被伤及无辜,有倒霉、不幸、运气差的意思。

快大选了,澳大利亚政坛出现十分丑陋一幕,中国躺枪!

【环球网报道 记者 索炎琦 丁洁芸】澳大利亚政坛内卷非拽上中国?!
据澳大利亚广播公司(ABC)、澳大利亚第7新闻网等澳媒11日报道,距澳大利亚大选约3个月之际,澳莫里森政府和反对党工党大吵了起来,话题居然是“中国干涉澳大利亚大选”。对此,有网友表示似曾相识,“跟特朗普用来反对拜登的手法一样。”
-----------------------
A brutal assault on a group of women diners at a restaurant in Tangshan in Hebei Province was caught on camera over the weekend. The video clip was shared on social media, leading to widespread shock and outrage online.

One of the men involved in the attack was filmed wearing a T-shirt from the U.K. street fashion brand Boy London.

Netizens are calling for the brand to be boycotted, directing their anger at Boy London’s T-Mall online shop, associating its clothing with thugs in China, known as 社会大哥 shè huì dà gē.

Commentators in the media are saying that Boy London, or one of its T-shirts at least, was in the wrong place at the wrong time:
"This brand has become collateral damage."
这个品牌这次算是躺枪了
