Ashkenazi shuffle

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.
