This is when somebody argues by DEFLECTING anything said against them.
They will NEVER address any issues brought against them or their point but will instantly bring something else up to change the subject
Deflective racists use this tactic whenever a situation/fact is brought up that goes against there beliefs
People do this because they know damn well if they try to address the issue or stay relevant to it, there entire argument will get derailed

when someone, in an effort to seem like they care, pronounces your name differently every time you see each other to deflect from the fact you have nothing to talk about or are too busy to remember anything about this person
Frank: "Benjamin (BEN juh men), what's new?"
Benjamin: "Well I'm getting married in a month."
Frank: "NO WAY MAN! CONGRATULATIONS!"
- 1 month later -
Frank: "So Benjamin (ben juh MEN), how's life?"
Benjamin: "Great. I got married Saturday."
Frank: "NO WAY MAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"
Benjamin: "I did and your inflection deflection isn't helping."

The state of matter in which you are called up to the board in class with an erection. In a last ditch effort to deflect that which is erect you offer a means of distraction, such as a brick through a window or a pair of inflatable fake boobs.

When something or someone causes you to lose your pleasure or ruins your enjoyment. Going from happy or laughing to immediately sad or depressed.
The teacher's homework was a total erection deflection. Taylor has been a real erection deflection lately. Enos, why are you such an erection deflection? Oh man your girlfriend is cheating on you, what an erection deflection.

The slippery slope fallacy that gay marriage will lead to marriage between humans and animals. Used by rightwing bigots who are frequently self-loathing repressed homosexuals. Notable users of this argument include Senator Rick Santorum and assorted dumbasses at the Drudge Retort.

a last ditch tactic in either a debate, argument, and or social issue when a person(s) avoid answering a direct question with good and honest intentions, quote false facts, impugn others, and simply will not admit to the abundantly obvious question, fact, point, or truth. Because admitting to the point, would be defeat or they are wrong.
Joe-I'm overwhelmingly qualified. I have a degree in the field, managed the award winning team, and have the most experience of all the candidates, yet you only hire the white personnel, so you're a racist. Boss- I just go with my gut instinct on hiring, like the NFL. Joe-That's deflective-dissonance!
