Clever use of the language has to start somewhere, ¿es verdad?

Seen on another list:

"Sometimes I need to flag up my ideas even before they are  ready,
for other
people to shoot  down,"

I had never heard this before (one hit for the phrase in the Archives
from 2007), and it is a use, not a mention.
