Deflectal

Pronunciation: /dɪˈflektəl/
Part of speech: noun (also used as an adjective: deflectal, verb: to deflectal)

A person who reflexively denies responsibility and reality — refusing facts, shifting blame, excusing or minimizing harm, and attacking victims or experts instead of admitting error. A deflectal will: ignore evidence, gaslight complainants, defend cruelty, generalize entire groups from single examples, and substitute tribal talking points for understanding.

“She went full deflectal when someone pointed out her dog killed the neighbour’s goats.”

"man went full deflectal, he is always hating everything that he doesn't understand or agree with."

ludicrous tomfoolery or delectable sweets?

This is what British mfs named "Sir Bumble Nockntooten IV" expect you to say on Halloween rather than, "Trick or treat?"

The story of Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV's expectation for children to say "ludicrous tomfoolery or delectable sweets?"

Me: *Knocks on Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV's door*
Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV: *Opens door*
Me: "Trick or treat?!"
Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV: *Closes door in anger and pure frustration and starts to cry*

Cum Deflectors

Cum deflectors are also know to the general public as "glasses". They are primarily used to aid the nerdy/ visually impaired see clearly. They are not limited to improving vision, they also serve as protection. Nerds and girls use them to deflect incoming cum. It keeps it out of the eyes, leaving nerds happy to continue readiing.

Hey joe, did you get a new pair of cum deflectors? they sure are trendy!

Good thing you were wearing your cum deflectors or you'd have an eye full!

Deflection

When politicians come under fire for missteps or failures, they often rely on the technique of trying to shift the focus onto others. In an attempt to duck responsibility, scrutiny, accountability, they often create "scapegoats" to shift blame onto. They try to lay their failures at the feet of others or make a way to justify them. They may try to shift the debate entirely onto a completely irrelevant and different subject. One example is to make a drastic decision that completely shifts focus from the previous subject of scrutiny onto this new drastic change or subject brought into light by the government. Seen commonly by politicians and on a less refined level , regular people supporting a political party or figure in arguments or debates, or as a psychological attempt to manipulate others in regular domestic situations. In politics the tactic is entirely strategic and is arguably one of the most devious and disreputable in the eyes of honest morality and accountability, but is quite common in politics around the world.

When Soviet leaders were questioned about human rights violations in the USSR, for example, they might've come back with, "Well, what about the Negroes that you Americans are lynching in the South?" - One example of a political deflection
