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.”

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.

Tower Defense

A type of game where you defend against waves of enemies attempted to attack an end point in a path. Instead of attacking the enemies yourself, you have 'towers' that will attack them for you with positions chosen by you. In almost all of these games you can upgrade these towers to make them stronger. The most popular tower defense games are often made by Auckland based company Ninjakiwi with their series of tower defense games since 2007 and their most recent tower defense game BTD Battles 2 or just Battles 2 in 2021.

A: Wanna play some tower defense games?
B: Yeah sure.

The Glenn Beck Defense

A synonym for JAQing Off, this phrase was named after right wing commentator Glenn Beck, who became famous for spewing conspiracy theories and hate fueled rhetoric under the guise of asking questions. His usage of this defense became so notorious that South Park famously mocked him for it.

"I'm not saying that they were good people, I'm just asking if the Jan 6 rioters were really Republicans or if they were Democrats in disguise?"
"Quit pulling The Glenn Beck Defense moron!"
