cherry sniping

Cherry sniping is the act of picking out a small section of an opponent's argument in a debate and focusing all attention on that specific argument in the response while discarding the rest.

The purpose of this is to shift the subject into a more easily-defendable position and deflect valid points made by the opponent.

Most commonly this occurs in cycles, with one participant's responses being asinine one-liners while the other's are educated and well-sourced, albeit lengthy.

An uncommon American last name. Originated from the snipe fowl, a small bird that like many others migrate with the warmer weather. There is an actual season for hunting snipe. Also, a fun joke to play on your friends.
A small bird that is awkwardly portioned. Snipes usually get around most of their lives by walking, but can still fly surprisingly long distances.
