Making an ineffectual attack against a relatively minor aspect of an argument or adversary, leaving the object of the attack unaffected.
An attack that is misplaced and off-target and does not address the fundamental issue.
The tactical opposite of "going for the jugular."

In argument, correcting your opponent's grammar instead of attacking her argument is an example of "going for the capillaries."

Get the going for the capillariesmug. Telling someone to go swivvle, or go swivvle up a christmas tree, is a nice way of telling them to fuck off or piss off, without getting into trouble for using derogatory language, and generally sounds quite amusing.

Get the Go Swivvlemug. Hey Jason, isnt that the group of girls we were going to meet up with last weekend? Oh shit Ed, your right! Ghana Go!

Get the Ghana Go!mug. 1. A very trippy orgy, facilitated by drugs.
2. Drunken competition involving trying to see who can find the most circumcised guys in a night. Whether sleeping with them or just yanking down their trousers is the goal depends on house rules at the time. One notes sleeping with them distracts one from keeping an accurate running tally.
3. Game played in the dark, in which one participant attempts to identify others merely by the shape of their penises.
4. Actually going out to pick mushrooms, magic or otherwise. Asking clarification is advised if invited to go mushrooming.

Sue liked going mushrooming, but she didn't like losing track of the guys she'd found.

Get the go jory mug. "Man, I lost my sandals like a week ago, and I've been going flintstone ever since!"
"Some one barfed on my shoes @ the rave last night, I had to go flintstone till 6 am! Do you know how disgusting that was?"
My neighbor came out of his house with an uber-rib in his hand, bbq sauce on his face and no shirt. He then walked his dog down the street going flintstone. And he wonders why we all talk about him!
