Get the tactical yakmug. "Boogeyman Tactics: A rhetorical strategy where someone tries to distract from the real issue by creating or exaggerating a threat that doesn't actually exist. Instead of addressing the actual argument, they shift focus to a made-up or overblown danger—like a modern-day 'boogeyman'—to manipulate others into fear or compliance. It's a form of red herring meant to derail the conversation and avoid dealing with the real problem."
Person A: "We really need to start reducing our carbon footprint at home. The evidence on climate change is overwhelming, and we should be doing our part to help."
Person B: "I don't think that's the real issue. What we should really be worried about is how immigration is out of control. More people coming into the country means more strain on our resources and more pollution. We should focus on that instead."
In this example, Person B is using Boogeyman Tactics by shifting the conversation from climate change to immigration, a different issue altogether. This is a red herring intended to derail the discussion about reducing their carbon footprint, by bringing up an unrelated and exaggerated threat of increased pollution due to immigration.

Get the Boogeyman tacticsmug. 1) When one is trying to describe "Gestapo Tactics", but is as clueless as WWII scholar and Holocaust historian Marjorie Taylor Greene.
2) A sarcastic comment on contemporary American policing tactics when they use ridiculously-excessive shows of force against non-existent threats to public safety.
3) Any comically-excessive intimidation tactic that's completely out of proportion to the threat. (if any)

Get the Tactical Suspensionmug. A tactical creep is when one is unsure of their situation romantically, whether it be at the start of a relationship, during flirtatious conversation or even 4 years down the line when it's nearly too late to turn back.
This involves using social media to browse through the person's photos, just reassure oneself that what they are about to do/are doing/ or will never do, is satisfactory.
