diplotainment

Foreign diplomacy conducted with the number one goal of raising one's profile at home. When a need to declare victory in foreign negotiations overrides the need to actually achieve any real foreign policy objectives. Daniel Russel, former President Obama's senior Asia Director at the National Security Council, speaking of the upcoming summit with North Korea after NK's categorical refusal to abandon their nuclear program: "President Trump has forged a new category of international relations that I would call 'diplotainment' and the Singapore meeting is going to demonstrate diplotainment at its pinnacle."
The summit is merely Diplotainment, as the President will declare victory even if nothing is achieved.

The dark arts of winning wars with friendship and lies, and expecting the same from one's opponents. The dark side of the arts of diplomacy.
Watch out. He might help you in the near-term, but he's a diplomancer, he already knows exactly when he's going to burn your friendship and stab you in the back.

Some people can't play Neptune's Pride more than once, because they don't have the emotional constitution for diplomancy. They just can't enjoy a game that requires them to doublecross their allies.

deploma

A deliberate misspelling of the word “diploma”. Credit is due to Sudbury, Ontario’s most famous online personality @Ryan_Lever. Ryan created a LinkedIn profile outlining his educational and professional accomplishments. In that profile he proudly announced he had received a “Grade 12 Deploma” from “white pines c&v”.

Used in the context of pointing out a braggart’s unintentional misspelling of a word. Also frequently used as a hashtag, #deploma , in a reply on Twitter after properly spelling the word.

diplomacy

Resisting the urge to slap someone in the face and yell, "Liar!"

This is a quote from Susie Madrak, aka Urban Guerrilla, as posted at Crooks & Liars.
Clinton is only telling the truth as it suits the long-term Mideast strategy. For example, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ignored the settlement moratorium for which she's praising him -- but hey, that's what diplomacy is
