  -> أتفق معك بأنه ربما ليس موجودا في لعتنا العربية، ولكنه موجود كما هو واضح بالانجليزية ، أعتقد سيدي العزيز أن عملية الرفع من شأن منتجاتك والتقليل من شأن المنافسين موجودة في عرف جميع شركات التسويق العربية والعالمية على حد سواء!! هل تشك في ذلك؟؟

We know they want to downtalk the bad and talk up the good to sell peace
instead of the true meaning of communism.

The following references are for Asem then he can decide if this meaning is existed/not correct or not:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=germany&page=...
The most amazing country on Earth. Take this from me, an American who was lucky enough to live there for 5 awesome years. Germany is a country that has taken a total 360 since 1945. Germany is the democracy that America claims to be. Americans who constantly down-talk Germany and Germans for their errors in the past are very ignorant.

Daily Herald (Chicago, IL), Jun 1, 1982, Sec. 4, p. 1 (N-archive)
"I wouldn't downtalk the Dodgers because they've been great to me."

Los Angeles Times, Oct 21, 1990, p. 9 (Proquest)
"Just giving my respect," White explained. "I'm not really gonna downtalk
(UCLA). They are a good team, but we were better today."

rec.music.synth, Mar 31, 1992 (Usenet)
I wonder if these folks down-talking the plastic case and mushy keys of
the K2000 have actually seen one.
