No oiga esa palabra mucho, la he visto en libros. Así que no se me ocurre ninguna expresión común. Sin embargo, está perfectamente bien usar la palabra. Es algo así como siendo una boca floja y diciendo cosas groseras delante de otras. Agresivamente. O arremeter contra alguien de repente. Pasándose de la raya. Exponer a alguien atrevidamente.
3 Ejemplos :
She accosted me on TikTok, with her bold comment about my video. The content in my video was just my opinion.
It was rude when the man accosted the female employee. She did not provoke him.
Nobody should accost another person in public when they’re minding their own business.
