Dead Herring

When someone brings up an old problem in a friendship or relationship to distract from the issue at hand. Similar to a "Red Herring", except that it is an old issue. This usually leads to an escalation in the argument.
husband: Why did you let that guy give you his phone number? You should have just said "I'm married".
wife: oh come on! you flirted with my friend Jane at that Belle and Sebastian concert.
husband: that was 5 years ago and I already said sorry for that like a thousand times! You always dig up dead herrings whenever I call you on your bullshit!!!

red herring

Herrings put into a tub with salt or brine, later spitted on sharp wooden spits, and hung up in a chimney to be smoked and dried. Such preserved fish would keep for months (and indeed they were transported in barrels to provide protein on long sea voyages) but were inedible in this state and needed to be soaked to soften them and remove the salt before they could be cooked.

Do I smell a rat?

One key characteristic of red herrings, apart from their colour, was their strong smell, so much so that one use for them on occasion was to train hounds to follow a scent.
