They were having a rollicking discussion when he suddenly veered off topic. This was made all the more obvious by scooting his chair over just a tish (titch, skosh, trifle) and announcing that he was now inside the Circle of Digression.

Get the Circle of Digression mug.A political strategy to get voters to lose focus on the most appropriate and potentially successful candidate that is most likely to achieve their political goals. and represent them in a political body. Typically voter digression is used in a general election where the strategy is to get the voter to vote for a candidate that will siphon off votes or create voter apathy. The strategist can throw an election even from a popular candidate by taking a few votes away from the most popular candidate or one which can win a plurality. In a presidential election this is even easier since we don't elect the president directly. So a politician can win the national vote by millions but lose a few states if enough votes are siphoned off and they have less votes than the main opposing candidate, which may have radically different political goals. Sadly if the individual voter digresses to a lessor candidate (that may get less than 1% of the vote) because they want their vote to count, but in the process deny the most popular candidate and the one closest to their values the ability to win, and in the process deny the majority of voters their right to be represented.
While many rightly complain about voter suppression, the loss of an election may be more attributed to voter digression, in the form of voter abstinence or the siphoning off of votes by fringe candidates. Voters often do not realize they are in effect denying those most closely aligned with their political views the right to vote, since voting is a collective process that can only be won by a majority or plurality.

Get the Voter Digression mug.Also known as PSD.
It is the sadness felt after reading or watching a really long series or story. The bitter feeling when you know the journey is over, but you don't want it to end.
It is the longing for the words on the pages to move for you like they did the first time you read them. When you didn't know what the next paragraph held and the world in which the characters found themselves was entirely without limit. Because any time you re-read the story, you know that they aren't free to roam anywhere like they were before. They are stuck in a cart on a track and all you can hope for is to notice something about the scene you didn't before, and to just try to relive those feelings you had the first time around.
But it will never be quite the same.
This can apply to any series; be it a book series, TV series, an anime, comic, or even movie. The effects can also be felt after completing a stand alone piece that is not necessarily part of a series, although this isn't as common as PSD derives from the attachment one has to the story's characters.
Effects include, but are not limited to:
• A state depression or sadness
• The inability to start another story
• The need to rewatch/reread
• Excessively projecting felt love towards the internet
• Creating fan fiction
