To root for or revel in the failure of others. FIghting within an industry to bring a contemporary down. To reign in on the good
news or fortune of another.
Written and made
popular by Jay

XYZ Craft Brewery was Kung Foo Fighting with
ABC Craft Brewery, as
ABC was getting more recognition when the real issue was the Big Brewery down the
street controlling the market with their big business tactics.
