tergiversation \tuhr-jiv-uhr-SAY-shuhn\, noun: 1. The act of practicing evasion or of being deliberately ambiguous. 2. The act of abandoning a party or cause. No doubt if I worked on it, I could evolve some kind of double-talk that would get around the offensive phrase, and make the, to me, face-saving implication; but to hell with that, I have too much respect for the English language, and for your understanding of it, to go in for tergiversation and weasely circumlocution.
