Briar Patching

The rhetorical phenomena where someone understands his opponent so poorly that he smugly suggests something he thinks they will hate but that they gleefully endorse.

Based on the story of Br'er Rabbit and the Briar Patch.

Person 1: "If you support X, that will enable Y."
Person 2: "Great!"
Person 1: "Wait, you support Y?"
Person 2: "Yep! You appear to be Briar Patching."

Briar-Rose

Briar-Rose is a fierce beauty. They are divine and the smartest humans ever.Briar’s are smart with their words and once they get in your head it’s hard to get back to normal. They are tactical and are especially good at math. Briar’s are often viewed as selfish, manipulative or psycho. But they are hardworking and always try to make others smile. Briar Rose’s are very outgoing and are not shy to make a statement. They don’t care what others say about them because they know their true selves while they feel no one else does.

Briar is a very interesting person who is scared of everything but would laugh and make funny remarks in a life or death situation. Everyone needs a Briar Rose, they’re are only so many.

Briar-Rose is such a wonderful person, I’m glad she’s mine.

Briar

Briars are the sweetest, most beautiful girls in the southeast. While charming everyone around them, Briars are known to create lasting relationships that endure the test of time. Do not confuse the Briars of the South with their counterparts in the North East who are mean spirited, ugly and spiteful. Briars require a lot of love, but always reciprocate ten fold. Cherish a Briar and hold her close forever.

Guy 1: “Dude, you will fall head over heels for this friend of mine.”

Guy 2: “Sweet! What’s her name?”

Guy 1: “Briar!”

Guy 2: “Makes sense!”
