A technique commonly used in arguments whereupon someone returns to a previous point they had made and pretends what they had said after that point never happened. Used in an attempt to null arguments that have been proven wrong, to prevent humiliation or to prevent the disputer from identifying that they have made a stupid argument. Politicians frequently use this in order to prevent interviewers from getting to the root of the problematic things they say. Really fucking annoying.
"You mean to say that ALL black people are stupid?"
"Um, er, um...as I was saying, formal education in the private sector requires improvement."
"Bruh stop backpedalling dude."

The amount of time for which a meme is considered "spicy", or in other terms, trending. Based on the amount of time something will last before it decomposes, but with regards to memes.
Memes have varying shelf lives, lasting from a few days to perhaps even a few months, depending in its spice factor.
If a meme goes beyond this point, it is considered dead. Although they may undergo impromptu resurrection (lasting a week at the most), all memes will reach their graveyard and respective gravestones and cannot return to the internet shelf.
The shelf life of a meme is not entirely accurate or precise. Memes can be shoved off the shelf faster than the shelf life predicts, thereby accelerating it far beyond expected through use of external factors. For example, if Weird Al parodies it, or Facebook user (particularly Facebook moms) post it to the general public, then the meme dies faster and the shelf life is decreased exponentially. This is mostly unpredictable.
Shelf life is considered the best way to judge the lasting effects of memes (good or bad).

Person 1: "Hey you heard about that new Ugandan Knuckles meme? It's everywhere on VR Chat!
Person 2: "Nah it's a January meme, automatically making it terrible. It will only have a shelf life of about two weeks. At the very least, it won't survive this month."
