David (and Goliath) Explanation: Would address the idea of little guy vs big guy, tho you could really only use where the 2 are opposed, otherwise reader will be wondering who this David chap is. Might help with working up something for the cailloux tho (slingshot pebbles etc) https://blog.euromonitor.com/2018/01/david-vs-goliath-rise-small-companies.html |
