One of my favourite conversation devices is, "That's neither here nor there".
I use it all the time when I'm fighting with someone, and I start losing the argument. It totally confuses people. It sets them off on a wild goose chase, trying to find where THAT is.
"Oh ya? Well, that's neither here nor there."
(Shit, I'm losing this argument)
People don't even bother trying to define what THAT is? They just start looking for it.
"Come on, man. Where'd you put it?"
"Hey, don't look at me. I just noticed that it's missing."
You say it's neither here nor there? But things can only be here or there, so where is it? When did you lose it? What does it look like?
In the meantime, I'm Googling research so I can win the fight, while they're fumbling around looking for that. And this. They're probably looking for this and that. Over here and over there.
Fools!
HINT: I have no idea where the hell THAT is.
