The Clintonian Defense

The Clintonian Defense is when someone does something wrong (and it was obviously wrong) and says that they didn't know it was wrong and therefore should not receive any punishment.

Man, didn't know I'd get a ticket if I ran that red light. I'll use the Clintonian Defense to get out of a ticket.

Hemingway Defense

Where the stress and work of artistic expression is used to excuse substance abuse, chemical dependencies and other toxic coping-mechanisms.

"I also employed the world-famous Hemingway Defense... which goes something like this: as a writer, I am a very sensitive fellow, but I am also a man, and real men don't give in to their sensitivities. Only sissy-men do that. Therefore I drink. How else can I face the existential horror of it all and continue to work? Besides, come on, I can handle it. A real man always can."
-- Stephen King

Chapelle Defense

Used to describe when someone is being racists, homophobic or transphobic but they have a friend of the group they are targeting who said it is ok so they are doing nothing wrong.

Ricky Gervais at the Apollo Theater:

Welcome everyone, especially all you niggers in the front row seats. Tt must have been very hard to afford tickets with all your family responsibilities, oh who am I kidding we all know you are still out getting smokes - don't worry I asked my one black friend and they said this shit is funny so I am not being racist - it is called the Chapelle Defense.
