When a reviewer or critic who gets into a tradeoff of critical praise or "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" situation. Implicitly or by agreement, one reviewer exchanges praise (often fatuous) with another in the hopes his inflated regard will find its way into publicity, advertising copy, book-jacket blurbs and the like and increase the other's visibility (and sell more books). The favor is expected to be returned, and at some point is. Probably descended from the literal use of logrolling as a pioneer sport, in which neither participant can stay on the round, floating timber unless one is pedaling frantically one way, one the other, although the symbolism invoking a mutual-gratification pact analogous to masturbation cannot be denied.
In the 1980s, SPY magazine ran a regular column called "Logrolling In Our Time" giving exact instances of such tit for tat.

-- "Oh, God. This is logrolling at its worst. A___ says on the dust jacket of B____'s new novel that 'a new American voice is born.' Three months later B____, now bestselling author, says that A____'s latest textbook is 'unchallengeable in its supremacy in this field.'"

Get the logrolling mug.To drink huge amounts of beer or lager simply to get very, very drunk. Not to savor the taste or flavor, but just to get wasted. The phrase is used in London and parts of England, usually associated with wide-boy or East-end types, although a trip to Ibiza might be rewarded with a few examples too.
"C'mon boys! Let's get lagered-up! Look at the locals, they're waiting for us to get proper pissed! C'mon boys! Lagered-up! Lagered-up! Waaay!"

Get the loggers run middle school mug.It is related to the verb logro, wich mostly means happy, but you can use it to anything really! Logrolino is just a more powerfull way of expressing the verb logro!
