Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging

When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.

They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.

• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”

Engaging in prostitution

I didn't engage in any prostitution that I'm aware of. Unless I've been set up. Which I will just appeal because I wouldn't pay a single cent for the last sex I've had and if someone else did then they wasted their money.
Hym "Engaging in prostitution? You are trying to make me guilty of everything of everything I said you are doing and everything I said I would do. And that's the difference. I'm both biased and objectively correct and you're just biased. It's just more biased pearl clutching. Oh no muh kids parish the thought and then you pretend to faint because you're a fucking actress. You're ridiculous. Isn't a good thing you're always wearing make up. That probably makes it super easy for you to throw on your red wig and hop in your for your side gig. Jesus! Seriously. We wouldn't even need politics if you idiots could step outside of yourselves for even a single second. A bunch of partisan hacks! All of ya!"

Dog Engagement Theory

The system of ideas behind dog engagement theory suggests that there is a net positive benefit from interacting with others as if they were dogs. From playful banter to teasing and trolling, the behaviors that bring about joy in dogs will also bring about joy in fellow humans - especially romantic partners. This stems from the belief that most take life too seriously and do not wish to risk awkward moments in pursuit of genuine and fun interactions. Those who subscribe to dog engagement theory are viewed as comedic and charismatic socializers in any setting and can turn any gathering into an enjoyable hangout.
Amanda: “You guys should invite Matt to the party! He’s such a funny guy.”

Steve: “Yea sure, but am I not funny too?”

Amanda: “Kind of. But Matt is just so charismatic and playful. I think he follows dog engagement theory so that’s why he’s better.”

Steve: “I don’t think I can compete with him then.”

Amanda: “You’re right Steve. I think we should both see other men.”

A Proper Engagement Congratulations

When your friends get engaged and you feel that the only appropriate way to say "congrats!" is to give groom and rough hand job (this is on the spot, so you don't have the proper lubrication handy) and a pack of camel lights because they're only likely to enjoy sex until they tie the knot and their lives devolve into a spiral of depression and dissatisfaction.
Hey man, congrats on proposing to your gf! Pull down your pants so I can give you a proper engagement congratulations. Here's a lighter!
