(Verb form of weasel) When asked a question or required to make a rebuttal that one would rather not be clear about due to embarrassment. Or expose a lie or some transgression, a "weasel" will dance around the subject without directly addressing it ... that is "weaseling". Similar to post-truth but lies or emotion may not necessarily be involved. You hear politicians do this all the time, never directly answering the question.
