Babefuge

A substance, medicine or device used to drive away a babe.

In my experience, an eight-day, Star Trek binge — accompanied by wearing a specific babefuge called a fedora — is the most successful treatment. Especially when one is a sufferer of a spate of flirts from a superfluity of babes.

borderline non sequitur

1. A statement that only just succeeds in logically following the statement that came before it.

2. A statement that logically follows the statement that came before it, but to an insignificant degree.

Adi: Cha' it makes sense, twas a borderline non sequitur though. You were quite roundabout in the way you were trying to explain your point. I almost thought you were about to continue that abrupt transition to it's endmost unrelated-ness. Where we would begin exploring a path of some non sequitur, but you just barely somehow inbrought all those tangential thoughts together to explain your point. I'm impressed.
