Buschman Blockout

praeternatural knack for alienating half of the group of people one is with when seated at a sporting event or concert; analogous to cock-blocking other would-be participants in a conversation. Etymology: In 1996, during a St. Louis Cardinals game at Old Busch Stadium, one of the descendants of the Busch family turned 90 degrees, thus shielding four of his fellow Cardinals fans from the conversation among a group of nine. Then, he reversed field, and alienated the other four before alternating sides and frustrating fans of all ages well into extra innings.
