Typical U.S. diplomacy:
"Yeah, we've just killed 200,000 innocent civilians, but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, right?

Get the diplomacy mug.
1) Is the ability to tell someone that they are full of shit and having them fully understanding and agreeing with you before you've finished explaining why.
2) Knowing how to sound like you agree with an opposing view while tactfully bringing the opposition around to your way of thinking.

Clinton is only telling the truth as it suits the long-term Mideast strategy. For example, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ignored the settlement moratorium for which she's praising him -- but hey, that's what diplomacy is

An awesome Avalon-Hill board game of strategy, tactics, negotiation, and (best of all) backstabbing.
Players play any one of 7 pre-WWI European countries and try to take over the rest. Gameplay can be best described as a cross between Risk and chess. Risk, because of the map-based, multi-player world domination aspect, chess, because the strategies are complex even though the rules may be simple. In addition, like chess, Diplomacy is the only other board game with popularity in the play-by-mail or play-by-email form.
A backstab is often abbreviated as "stab."

Player 1: What'd you do that for!? I thought we agreed to DMZ the English Channel!
Player 2: All is fair in love, war and Diplomacy.
