General Language Question

[dirtyvicar]

Is there a Japanese phrase that would be equivalent to the American "throw in the towel" ? This just came up as a bit of trivia at work.

Thanks ! :look:

here's a couple, mike.

1) haiboku wo mitomeru
2) kousan suru

or simply the verb "to give up"

3) akirameru

hope this helps.
