An Ashkenazi shuffle is when someone employs high verbosity and obfuscative language in an attempt to bewilder or confuse their opponent in an argument. It can involve using complex language, irrelevant details, or tangential arguments to divert attention from the central topic or to make it difficult for others to follow the discussion. It can be perceived as a form of intellectual manipulation, aimed at gaining an advantage in a debate or discussion, often characterized by a style that resembles a rhetorical dance, where clarity and directness are intentionally obscured. Especially in a way that the user deems to be characteristic of a Jewish person.
"Instead of providing straightforward answers, the politician engaged an Ashkenazi shuffle, leaving the audience confused about his stance on the issue."

Get the Krammer Shuffle mug.
When people get up in a meeting and start explaining something - to avoid looking nervous they start moving their weight from side to side on their legs, and make gestures with their hands. That's called the boardroom shuffle.
***Big meeting takes place - Annie has to speak and is nervous***
Dude 1: "Yo, what is up with Annie up there? Is she having a fit up there?"
Dude 2: "I think it's just a classic case of the Boardroom Shuffle"
