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.

Cross map snipe

When you are playing pool, and you aim to snipe a ball on the other side of the table into its pocket, but you miss everything and the cue ball (the white ball) goes into the pocket instead. This means you have fouled, and the opponent can place the ball wherever they want. A cross map snipe usually results in a loss.

Shreeto: *starts sweating*
Verd: *misses everything and gets the cue ball in*
Verd: *dramatically falls on the floor in immense emotional pain*

Shreeto won the World Championship on her next turn.
