Prime example: "Collective Soul was such an under-rated band", contradictory reply: "not at all, they were Grammy-nominated and had N number-one hits", weasel reply: "that's not what I meant... lately they haven't been paid enough attention. way to miss the point, $NAME_CALLING". It's a way to say "I like them" without having to refute anything other than supporting comments, aka a weasel-word.
