Pirouette is an internet slang term used to describe when someone quickly changes the subject in a conversation, deflecting attention away from a particular topic. It is like doing a spinning dance move to avoid addressing or acknowledging something.
Examples:
– John: “Hey, did you remember to finish your report for work?”
– Sarah: “Oh, speaking of work, have you seen the new coffee machine in the break room? It makes the best lattes! ”
– Lisa: “I heard you went to the party last night, did anything interesting happen?”
– Jason: “Well, actually, I bumped into my ex there! But hey, have you tried that new restaurant in town? They have amazing sushi! ”
In these examples, both Sarah and Jason are using pirouette to quickly redirect the conversation and avoid answering the original question. They bring up a different, unrelated topic to shift the attention away from the initial inquiry.
