I met an expression that confused me: "Roche style". The context was something like this: "We can do this technical task "Roche style", but for this we need to be much more specific".

I tried to google it, but what I got was some guitar styles, not sure this is relevant. Do you have any ideas?

Was this in writing? If not, are you sure that was how it should be spelled? Or did they mean something else, "rogue style" maybe? – Mr Lister Nov 21 '12 at 11:41
It would be better for you if you can ask the source of the usage what it means. Roche style just means in the style of Roche. – Matt Эллен Nov 21 '12 at 12:02
@MrLister It was written, so I am pretty sure about the spelling. – Dmitry Laptev Nov 21 '12 at 12:22

Given it's a technical task, I'd guess it means the way Roche Diagnostics would do it. But I think the question is Too Localised for ELU. – FumbleFingers Nov 21 '12 at 12:46

As Google says "Roche" is an Italian word and "Roche Style" is refer to "Rock Style". So,"We can do this technical task "Roche style", but for this we need to be much more specific".

Or Roche Style just means in the style of Roche

But still it makes no sense to me: why do you say "Rock style" about solving some technical task? I can be dressed rock style, I can sing rock style, but not, for example, do physics rock style. – Dmitry Laptev Nov 21 '12 at 12:47
Rock Style is refer to a style. It can be of any body's style, I mean how he/she work. There's nothing Rockstar's rock. It is just a simple. You are making it complex for yourself to understand. – Deepak Khiwani Nov 21 '12 at 12:53
