Related Idioms
- "Nước chảy chỗ trũng" / "Nước đổ đầu vịt": These idioms relate to the ineffectiveness of action, similar to water finding its own path or rolling off a duck's back, indirectly relating to the concept of channels ('rãnh') directing flow, but they do not contain the word 'rãnh' itself.
