brinksmanship

Postby Klimt » Fri Nov 02, 2007 4:23 pm

The practice, especially in international politics, of seeking advantage by creating the impression that one is willing and able to push a highly dangerous situation to the limit rather than concede.
Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.

pushing limits, pushing envelopes, pushing back, push polls, pushing buttons ... lowest common denominator is very pushy people.
