deflective arguing

This is when somebody argues by DEFLECTING anything said against them.

They will NEVER address any issues brought against them or their point but will instantly bring something else up to change the subject

Deflective racists use this tactic whenever a situation/fact is brought up that goes against there beliefs

People do this because they know damn well if they try to address the issue or stay relevant to it, there entire argument will get derailed

inflection deflection

when someone, in an effort to seem like they care, pronounces your name differently every time you see each other to deflect from the fact you have nothing to talk about or are too busy to remember anything about this person

Frank: "Benjamin (BEN juh men), what's new?"
Benjamin: "Well I'm getting married in a month."
Frank: "NO WAY MAN! CONGRATULATIONS!"

- 1 month later -

Frank: "So Benjamin (ben juh MEN), how's life?"
Benjamin: "Great. I got married Saturday."
Frank: "NO WAY MAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"
Benjamin: "I did and your inflection deflection isn't helping."

self-defecating humor

The act of getting some cheap laughs by pooping one's pants.

Billy's lame jokes kept falling flat, so, desperate for a laugh, he decided to change course and try some self-defecating humor.

erection deflection

The state of matter in which you are called up to the board in class with an erection. In a last ditch effort to deflect that which is erect you offer a means of distraction, such as a brick through a window or a pair of inflatable fake boobs.

I was able to pull of the erection deflection in my english class.
