The Hitler Defense

A tactic used by people to make other look bad, claiming if they would still believe in their viewpoint if Adolf Hitler was involved. Either they back out of their arguement, or they side with Hitler. An instant-win card for assholes who can't make a counterargument.

Person 1: I believe everyone should have a second chance.
Person 2: Oh really, so Hitler should get a second chance as well?
Person 1: Ah, The Hitler Defense... I'm not gonna waste my time with you.

Dead Chewbacca Defense

Similar to The Chewbacca Defense, wherein a person will completely switch the subject of their argument to something totally unrelated. By hammering this point home the intent is to make the debating partner completely give up. In a Dead Chewbacca Defense, the point that the user switches to will be completely wrong, untrue or contradictory, and he or she will continue to support this point and hammer it in until the opponent has to go with it and submit.
Named for the Chewbacca Defense and the Dead Parrot Defense.

Here, Rob uses the Dead Chewbacca Defense
Doug: Well, I can see your point there but beauty is defined by the individual-
Rob: My shirt is blue!
Doug: No it's not..
Rob: Sky blue!
Doug: Your shirt is white.
Rob: My shirt is blue!
Doug: Screw it.

Defensive End

A position in American football. It is on defense. Their body size is 6'2" or above, and 260 lbs or above. They bridge the gap between defensive tackles and linebackers. They are responsible for controlling the outside of the offensive line, deflecting passes, forcing/recovering fumbles, getting sacks or T.F.L., and sometimes, in rare cases, getting picks. Have to be strong, quick, and agile. Great position overall, just don't expect too much glory, unless you are a superstar. other names; D.E. , D- end, defensive lineman, etc. So simple, but even the simple job is not easy. Respect the D ends, and all d- linemen, they are just about the toughest men on the field.

Guy one: Dude, for fantasy football my defensive ends are Myles Garrett and Nick Bosa.
Guy two: Nice bro, I got Trey Hendrickson and Chase Young.
Guy one: They are all great players and will have a great season this year!
Guy two: Duh!!1

Playing Defense

When someone actively interrupts, blocks, or derails another person’s attempt to flirt, rizz, or joke their way into someone’s heart. Usually done in group settings or livestreams, this is the playful art of stopping your friend from “cooking.” You’re not protecting anyone from danger—you’re protecting them from success.

It’s like being a romantic goalie: your entire job is to stop their shot from landing.

“I was trying to talk to her at the party, but Chris kept playing defense like I owed him rent.”

“Lacy always plays defense when Marlon starts rizzing—it’s like she trains for it.”

“Bro stop playing defense and let me cook.”
