To avoid answering a question or taking responsibility.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Polish politics, 'robienie uników' is often analyzed in Sunday morning talk shows. There is a specific cultural trope of the 'slippery politician' who can survive any scandal by never giving a straight answer. In modern Polish offices, 'robić uniki' is a serious accusation. It implies a lack of 'ownership'—a value highly prized in international corporations operating in Warsaw or Kraków. During the partitions of Poland, 'robić uniki' before the occupying authorities was seen as a patriotic act of resistance and cleverness. Poland has a strong boxing tradition (e.g., Andrzej Gołota). The literal 'unik' is a term every Polish sports fan knows and respects as a sign of technical skill.
Use with 'zręczny'
If you want to sound like a native, use the adjective 'zręczny' (skillful). 'To był zręczny unik' is a very common collocation.
Don't overdo the plural
While 'robić uniki' is common, using it too much can make you sound like you're accusing someone of being a pathological liar.
