going for the capillaries

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."

Going flintstone

The act of not wearing shoes, anywhere you go, weather it be by accident or on purpose.
"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!
