polcrólkifejezéssel

Polcrólkifejezéssel, also known as "polcról" or "polcról," is a Hungarian idiomatic expression that translates to "from the shelf" or "from the shelf's perspective." It is used to describe a situation where someone is speaking or acting from a position of authority or expertise, often without considering the practical implications or the perspectives of others. The term originates from the idea that someone who is knowledgeable or authoritative might be speaking from a high position, such as a shelf, and thus not fully aware of the ground-level realities.

The expression is often used to critique someone who is making decisions or giving advice based on their theoretical knowledge or abstract principles, rather than on practical experience or the needs of the situation. It can also be used to highlight the disconnect between theory and practice, or to point out when someone is being overly dogmatic or idealistic.

For example, if a manager gives a speech about the importance of teamwork, but their actions consistently prioritize individual goals, one might say, "That's all well and good from the shelf, but in reality, we need to work together." This usage emphasizes the gap between the manager's words and their actions, and the need for more practical, collaborative behavior.

Polcrólkifejezéssel is a versatile expression that can be applied in various contexts, from workplace dynamics to academic debates, to highlight the importance of considering multiple perspectives and the practical implications of decisions.
