Elevision

The act of people in an elevator staring up, uncomfortably, at the numbers as they light up when the car moves. Practiced out of nervousness.

When the elevator began moving, silence ensued as each person practiced their elevision.

Elevation Cessation

The letdown experienced after standing in an elevator, doors almost closed, and someone activates the sensor in a last minute attempt to board by pressing the outside button or waving a hand between the doors.

I was in a full elevator and experienced Elevation Cessation when Harold did a mean karate chop between the doors, trying to board.

evasion

Avoiding something, especially in an argument.

An accusation used in debates by the childish whenever a person doesn't respond in the exact way desired.

I'm getting really tired of your constant evasion of my questions.
