quick dip Explanation: The quoted context is from the website of a company called Lewenhards http://lewenhards.nu/about/ who deal with finance info etc. - so just given as an example in your computer networking text? Another similar example from this website: http://www.aktiefokus.se/2013/10/de-23-storsta-europeiska-ba... "Jag har sedan början av 2013 bevakat den danska bankmarknaden och även gjort några andra nedstick, t.ex hos Banco Santander, hos de svenska storbankerna och hos nätbankerna Nordnet och Avanza." Concretely nedstick is anything that "sticks down", like a spade making a cut, or the stem of a bicycle seat - in a more abstract sense it seems to convey a quick visit into an "other" environment. |
