To Change one position on Political issues after a politcal primary to make one's self image seem more politically moderate then where they stood when they ran for their politcal party's nomination (For Senate, Congress, President, Governor, ect).

The act of sneaking up behind a woman, reaching around to her breasts, and twidling her nipples between your fingers like the knobs of an etch-a-sketch.
"When she least expected it, Tim snuck up to Claudia and began playing reverse etch-a-sketch with her."

When something really akwardly dangerous happens and nobody can really recall as to why or what started the outbreak. During etch-a-sketch periods you may be a little scared and just want to leave the situation.
Not to be confused with sketch, which is an entirely different word.

I just introduced Jim to Jerry two minutes ago and Jim can't remember Jerry's name. That Jim sure has an "etch-a-sketch memory."

when a politician straight-faced and blatantly contradicts something they said only a short time before, denies doing so, and it is on tape so you can clearly see what they did. Also known as a "lie".
Romney said the sky is blue on tuesday. On wednesday he said the sky is never blue and he never claimed it was blue.
He did it with a straight face.
We hit rewind and saw exactly what he said both times, yet he denied contradicting himself. It was an etch-a-sketch moment for that politician.
