leapfrog

Εννοια (Αγγλικός)

Noun

1. (countable, uncountable) A game, often played by children, in which a player leaps like a frog over the back of another person who has stooped over. One variation of the game involves a number of people lining up in a row and bending over. The last person in the line then vaults forward over each of the others until they reach the front of the line, whereupon they also bend over. The process is then repeated.
2. (British, attributive, countable, uncountable, usually) The process by which a case is appealed or allowed to be appealed directly to a supreme court, bypassing an intermediate appellate court.

Verb

1. (transitive) To jump over some obstacle, as in the game of leapfrog.
2. (transitive) To overtake.
3. (intransitive) To progress.
4. (British, transitive) To appeal or allow to be appealed (a case) directly to a supreme court, bypassing an intermediate appellate court.
5. (transitive) To advance by engaging the enemy with one unit while another moves further forward.
