For an example, an adult might insult a young man, at which point the young man could take issue with him. Of course the older man would know full well that his insult was unwarranted, and would naturally figure out some way to let the issue fade out unresolved.
例如老人會故意責罵晚輩，這時年輕人就可以抗辯，當然老人家對自己的無理是心知肚明，最後自然就以不了了之的方式收場。
