[quote=Anonymous] The origin of the phrase is from the tug of war concept. It means that when someone pulls on a rope you hold, leading you to react to their needs/provocations/demands, you can also choose to drop it, meaning to not react at all. It takes some work, usually, especially if you've conditioned yourself to always responding, in a positive or negative way. A more recently invented, and more specific, application of dropping the rope is going grey rock. This is for situations where people are harassing you, verbally or psychologically, because they have a need for constant attention, and even prefer negative attention to nothing at all. Being as unresponsive and unobtrusive as a grey rock sometimes deflects their attentions to another target. [/quote]
