A verb (pronounced "Porter-ing") that describes when a person plays a multi-player video game (such as Halo or Smash Bros.) and sits on the sidelines while the other players fight and kill each other. When only 2 out of all the players fighting are left, the one who took this action tends to win because he did not do anything and angers the other players.

Get the festering ass boil mug.Paltering (gerund or verb) and palter (verb) refer to an extremely common practice of lying and deceiving with true statements. Probably the most common form of paltering (especially among politicians and interviewees on media) is answering a challenging or embarrassing question with a statement which is true but does not address the original question. Frustrated questioners sense the lie, but instead of identifying the paltering, often rephrase and repeat their original question. Strangely, very few know this word and its phenomenon, thinking a lie must be only a misstatement of fact. Check out a long scholarly article on paltering at www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/psp-pspi0000081.pdf .
