Danish term or phrase: glide af
Hvis der er et element af sandhed i manipulatorens udmelding, så giv ham/hende lidt - men ikke for meget - for at undgå diskussion: "Du får altid de sjove opgaver!" "Ja, jeg har nogle spændende opgaver" (Glid af)

There also seems to be something missing here - 'giv ham/hende lidt...' - (lidt hvad???)

Thanks!
