Shadowboxing 

Original: Shadowboxing is an exercise used in the training for combat sports, especially, as its name implies, in boxing. It is used mainly to prepare the muscles before the person training engages in stronger physical activity. In shadowboxing, only one person is required to take part; the participant throws punches into the air at no one in particular or an imaginary opponent.

Slang: The act of being evasive, vague or non-forthcoming with information.
Maria just flat out asked Carl if he was cheating on her and he immediately started shadowboxing. He told her everything except the truth.

2.) A down song by the GZA/Genius and Method Man in the GZA's album Liquid Swords.
GZA/Genius:
I slayed mcs back in the rec room era
My style broke motherf**kin backs like ken patera
Most rap niggaz came loud but unheard
Once I pulled ut, round em off to the nearest third
Check these non visual niggaz, with tapes and a portrait
Flood the seminar, tryin to orbit this corporate
Indsutry, but what them niggaz can't see
Must break through like the Wu, unexpectedly
Protect ya neck, my sword still remain imperial
Before I blast the mic, Rza scratch off the serial
We reign all year round from june to june
While niggaz bite immediately if not soon
Set the lynchin, and form the execution date
As this two thousand beyond slang suffocate
Amplify sample through vacumn tubes compressions
Cause Rza, to charge niggaz twenty Gs' a session
