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.
"Instead of providing straightforward answers, the politician engaged an Ashkenazi shuffle, leaving the audience confused about his stance on the issue."

Ashkenoying

just assking for trouble

How someone of "conservative mind and superior morals" disapprovingly describes an excessively-butt-baring outfit that a young lady wants to wear to a social gathering of some kind, such as a dance, party, or school prom.
A lot of times when a middle-aged-or-older matron or neighborhood gramma cluckingly criticizes a teenage girl's somewhat-revealing gown as "just assking for trouble", one should seriously wonder if her real reason for objecting is that she is simply jealous that **she herself** no longer possesses a cute firm behind --- or maybe NEVER DID to begin with --- and therefore she is no longer "getting any" from the available hot hunks around town, and so she cannot stand to see a shapely younger filly gaily showing off her "merchandise" for all da raging-hormone-steeped youngblood-studs at da gathering to lust over.
