Negotiating with terrorists

The act of engaging another in an argument that is so self-evidently preposterous that doing so provides dangerous validation to the other party. Usually refers to arguments with bipolar ex-girl or boyfriends, often with a history of employment in various clothing-optional adult entertainment industries.

#1: Stripper Sara cornered me at the bar & started screaming at me again about her missing John Mayer CDs. She knows I would rather tear out my eardrums & set them on fire than listen to that douche.
#2: What did you do?
#3: I walked away. Anything else is negotiating with terrorists.

GPA Negotiator

A student who finds themselves "on the edge" of a new grade at the end of the quarter. For example, a person with a 96 A that only needs a few points to reach a 97 A+. A skilled GPA Negotiator will often times BEG their teacher for ANY last minute extra credit or ANYTHING THEY CAN DO to get their grade up a mere few points. A successful GPA Negotiator will often use guilt tactics and and make sure they tell their teacher that the "want to succeed," when in reality it is just to get their grade up by doing little to no effort. GPA Negotiation is the main cause of GPA Inflation.

------------ Example of a GPA Negotiator at work------------

Student - Excuse me, Mr. Smith. I would like to talk to you about my grade

Teacher - Yes? You have a 96 in this class

Student - Yes, however I REALLY need to get it up to an A+ so my parents will be proud of me. Is there ANYTHING I can do to raise it a mere 1 point?

Teacher - Well... I'm not supposed to be doing this, but I will allow you to write a small paper for a point extra credit. Turn it in to me tomorrow and don't tell you any of your peers

Student - Thank you very much, I am very appreciative......... *walks of with a smug grin*

Guy 2: Yep

Guy 1: Wow, you've mastered the art of French Negotiation!

negotiated reality

When you tell a whopper of a lie with the expectation that people will believe a part of it. Similar to how things work in the real estate industry where someone who is trying to sell a property for $1 million will set a $1.2 million asking price. A politician might tell you that 4 US embassies are about to be attacked. Although no US embassies might be at risk, by lying and saying that 4 embassies were about to be attacked, you might walk away thinking that at least one embassy was at risk.

One person on the left will say 0 embassies were at risk and the other will say 4 were at risk, so you end up thinking that an embassy was at risk because 1 is between 0 and 4.

The fact that we believe even a kernel of what Trump says is negotiated reality.
