Detailed explanation-1: -The concept is taken from the play “The Proposal” by Anton Chekov. Here basically the word wrong foot means, usually the quarrel. They got into an quarrel when they started to talk about the land.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lomov came to Chubukovs to propose Natalya. Both are neighbours and at the right age to marry. But instead of forwarding the proposal both of them started fighting over truffles. Firstly they fought over a small piece of land called oxen meadows.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lomov came to seek the hand of Chubukov’s daughter, Natalya in marriage. However, all three were quarrelsome people and they began to quarrel over petty issues such as their land and their dogs. Amidst this quarrelling they completely forget the real issue about the marriage proposal. This was not the right approach.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the first instance, Lomov and Natalya fight over an issue of the ownership of the Oxen Meadows that has been a disputed property between the two families since generations. Chubukov does not try to pacify them. Instead, he himself joins it and out of anger, drives Lomov out of the house.
