Draft Dodge 

Verb: The act of taking the time to type out a saucy comment or pedantic essay, only to delete it all in favor of an amicable prosaic note, thereby taking the high road and leaving no trace or permanent record of your true snarkiness.

After Donald pissed me off with his Tweet degrading Hispanic Americans, I almost posted a curse-laden response, but draft dodged it in favor of an eye roll emoji.

You gots to be kidding me, She told me she was in the Air Force as an Arabic Linguist.

something I would most likely be were the draft reinstated--not because I don't care about my country, but because I would make terrible soldier and would do much better on the home front.

I care about my country, and even though I play football and run track and am in shape, I would be terrible on the battlefield. Thus, I would dodge the draft unless it were a truly serious war (I.E. WWII-caliber).
