A small company taking on a giant corporation head-on is sheer mantis-versus-chariot.
Tips
history
From 《庄子·人间世》: 怒其臂以当车辙，不知其不胜任也 — 'angrily raising its forelegs to block the chariot's track, unaware that it cannot prevail.' Zhuangzi's image for self-destructive overconfidence.
memory
Picture it literally: a mantis (螳) raising its arms (臂) to block (当) a chariot (车). The image is the meaning.
