Something pleasant which draws attention from a situation which could be awkward or embarrassing for those involved. Distraction cake originated in British teen dramedy "Skins" where Emily Fitch produced a delicious chocolate cake, seemingly from thin air, in order to remove attention from Naomi Campbell who was being heckled about her sexuality - presumably as an act to show her undying love.
Cook: I know the cure
Naomi: The cure for what?
Cook: It's my cock
Naomi: What the hell are you talking about?
*Awkward glances and laughter*
Emily: Hey look what I made! (Produces delicious distraction cake)
Celebrities that have been enlisted by the U.SGovernment to keep the public eye off of what is really going on...
Paris Hilton's crotch... Britney Spears cooch... Anna Nicole Smith America's Princess Di... all government operatives...a collective Weapon of Mass Distraction (WMD) if you will...
The distracting butt crack one sees in public ie. baseball games, church, or even in Target. Typically on a women but can be seen on a man. Not to be mistaken for plumbers butt.
When a women's Discracktion prevents an on looker from focusing on the event. When a women sits on the baseball bench and her butt crack, not her thong, is distrackting the viewers from the game. Frequently happens in churches with open, fold up seats.
A person of the opposite gender which is not a significant other, but has enough "beyond friendship" feelings and possibilities attached to him/her that this person creates a major loss of productive time whenever s/he is available for contact.
The distraction is online. I won'tget any homework done anytime soon.
