"Tripping" definition
Hi!
I can't understand the right meaning of word "tripping" in this context:
"And I meet my threshold for embarrassment. Tripping is bad enough. Tripping into someone is much worse. But if that someone has a body that could make sculpted statues jealous—and thinks you’ve broken your nose on one of his pecs—well, that’s when tripping runs a distant second to humane euthanasia".
Thanks for your help!
