flying a kite |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In negotiation, putting out a feeler or leaking a radical proposal with a view to examining the reaction of the other side. If this is not too hostile, the kite-flyer may well assume that its interlocutor may be able to afford acceptance of something like this proposal (kite), and in this event the kite (proposal) is wound in, straightened out and presented across the table. The French equivalent is envoyer un ballon d\'essai. |
