My humble suggestion for the evolving mother tongue:
Lawyer: v. (slang) to answer a question or inquiry in a manner which suggests or implies an answer (in a lawyer/client relationship), but which also avoids responsibility for explicitly stating or advocating the implied response. syn: obfuscate. Similar to: being cagy, or maintaining “plausible deniability.”
Used in a sentence: “I single handedly turned an hour and a half meeting with our attorneys into a three-hour word fest, because I got lawyered.”
