Disfractionate

diss-frak-shuhn-eyt - To suddenly become aware of your surroundings; to "snap out" of a mentally distracting activity such as spacing out.

After spacing out for an hour, I suddenly became disfractionated and realized that I had driven 80 miles without even thinking about it.

Designated distraction.

Term used by domestic builders describing a deliberate error left on a job to distract from a far worse yet less obvious mistakes.

Bob the builder: Sorry about that bit of paint I got on your kitchen counter, Mrs Smith. A bit of turps should get that off.

( Mrs Smith smiles and signs the cheque, failing to notice only three of the four light fittings she has paid for are in place. )

Bob has used the paint spill as a designated distraction.

weapons of mass distraction

Something that distracts large numbers of people from thinking about important issues.

For a few hours at least today, the heat will be off George W Bush as America switches focus from Baghdad to the Super Bowl. Maybe the Super Bowl will be the weapon of mass distraction that Bush has been praying for.
