The technique of interrupting someone who is making a valid point by saying, "Let me stop you right there." You can then follow with gibberish since the object is not to have a serious debate but to prevent the other person from being heard. Used when you're losing the argument.
The method is used extensively by and named for Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe cable news. When Joe is losing the argument he frequently interrupts his guests to interject nonsensical declarations. It's used along with chorus-lining to dilute the argument. It is similar to water-boarding in that it depletes the oxygen levels in the room.

His scarboroughing stopped anyone else from speaking.
"Wait a second, I have to interrupt you right there! I've got to say that I think, that back when I was in Congress, we had our differences, Back when I was in Congress, we had lunch, back when I was in Congress, we played the same top forty 70's tunes in the cafeteria, Back when I was in Congress, we had lots of soda pop and cakes, Back when I was in Congress, we wore our socks pulled up......

Get the Scambag mug.Sambo means cross-breeding of a Negro and Native Americans. It comes from Spanish "los ambos", meaning "the both" or "the others". Historically it came into being along with mulatto (cross-breeding of white and Negro) and mestizo (cross-breeding of white and Native Americans). More properly spelled zambo
Only a nigger would think that sambo is a racial slur.
Cross-breeding to create sambos or mulattoes is like mixing clean water with dirty water - you just get more dirty water.

Get the sambo mug.AS USED IN HIP-HOP/URBAN SLANG:
A sambo is a coward and a turncoat. A sambo with backdown from a fight. A sambo will steal. A sambo will stab you in the back.
The term has many supposed origins, the most common coming either from the story of Little Black Sambo or the British conquest of India. Many cite the slavery days of the U.S.A., in which the term is used in the same fashion as the Indian source. The "black faces" of early U.S. entertainment are often called sambos.
A.K.A. a house nigger (as in Malcolm X's contrast of the house nigger versus the field nigger).
A.K.A. "Uncle Tom"
