The Clintonian Fallacy

The Clintonian Fallacy, so called because of former President Clinton's infamous line, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is", is when someone you are debating tries to derail an argument by squabbling over the well known, and traditionally accepted, definitions and meanings of words and or ideas.
