"Run (something) up the flagpole" = Dương/đưa ra cái gì lên cột cờ -> Kiểm tra cái gì để rồi đưa ra đánh giá, nhận xét.
Ví dụ
Perhaps you’re being asked to “think outside the box,” to come up with a “cutting edge” idea. Maybe you reply you need more time to “get your ducks in a row,” or you have to run an idea “up the flagpole,” or get “buy in.”
The reason that they didn’t run the prices up the flag pole earlier on in the “four-stroke era” was because the new four-strokes had to compete dollar-for-dollar against two-strokes. Price parity (ngang giá) between the two engine types was required to entice (nhử, lôi kéo) you to buy a four-stroke.
And once the showrunners learned of the complaint, the lawyer said, they asked human resources if they could still go ahead with their planned changes. “They didn’t do anything without running it up the flagpole with H.R.,” Mr. Brettler said. CBS backed the showrunners, saying in a statement that they had decided to “streamline their production process” before Ms. Gupta complained to them about Mr. Hunt.
