Veja, é a reação natural que temos quando alguém faz uma proposta ridícula (para ser bem explícita!). A gente engasga, engole seco, faz silêncio...e esta reação faz que o outro reconsidere ou faça outra oferta um pouco mais decente....

recuo


Explanation:
O acto em si significa recuar ou retrair-se (também encolher-se, desviar-se, esquivar-se, fugir ou num sentido mais idiomático "tirar o corpo fora", ou seja, fugir a uma responsabilidade/compromisso) facto que também se aplica em tácticas negociais.

Espero que ajude.
