Roland for an Oliver communications,” a form of discussion based on finding common ground. He proposed trying to understand our adversary’s position, by listening to them.

In practice, this type of discussion is extremely useful in emotionally charged topics since it downplays emotional and highlights rational arguments. Roland for an Oliver – достойный ответ; око за око; give somebody a Roland for an Oliver – удачно отпарировать, ответить ударом на удар An effective or appropriate retort or response; a blow for a blow; tit for tat (archaic).

Once Roland was in command of the rearguard of Charlemagne’s army when it was ambushed in 778; despite the urging of Oliver that he should blow his horn to summon aid, Roland refused to do so until too late, and they were slain at Roncesvalles along with the rest of the rearguard. Rube Goldberg (Am inf) – чудо-юдо, диковинка, вычурный проект Reuben Lucius Goldberg (1883–1970) was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer and inventor. He is best known for a series of popular cartoons depicting complex gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.
