Move the Evidencepost

The act of changing the criteria for what counts as valid evidence after your opponent has already met the previous criteria, ensuring that you never have to concede a point. This debate tactic is beloved by conspiracy theorists, bad-faith arguers, and people who would rather perform mental gymnastics than admit they might be wrong. Moving the evidencepost is like playing a game where you get to redefine the rules after every move, guaranteeing you never lose—and also guaranteeing that no one wants to play with you anymore. The only way to win against someone who moves the evidencepost is to stop playing, which is also the only way to preserve your sanity.

Move the Evidencepost Example: "She provided a peer-reviewed study. He moved the evidencepost, saying peer review was a liberal conspiracy. She provided government data. He said the government lies. She provided photographic evidence. He said photos could be photoshopped. She asked what he would accept. He said 'personal experience.' She realized the evidencepost had moved to a dimension she couldn't reach and ended the conversation. He declared victory."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
