Collocations
When meaning 'to tide oneself over before a meal', 垫底 often pairs with 肚子 (stomach) or light foods, as in 吃点东西垫垫肚子. Without 肚子, it sounds like 'put something underneath' or 'rank last'.
Common mistakes
垫底 is often incorrectly used as a noun (e.g., *我是垫底); it is a verb and should be used in verbal constructions like 我垫底了 (I am in last place) or 拿…垫底 (use ... as a cushion).
