Using alcoholism to cover one's mistakes, like blaming Jews for all the world's wars. You can pretty much say anything you want, as long as your drunk it doesn't count. You also get special treatment later because you have a problem.

The Peewee Defense is the defense employed during an argument by somebody who is bad at debate (or is trying to argue a really stupid point), generally when all other forms of defense have been exhausted or they otherwise run out of options. It consists of one individual attempting to turn the debate against the opponent by accusing them of the exact same statements being used by the opponent.
"Only an idiot would rely on the Pee-Wee Defense to win an argument."
"I know you are, but what am I?"
Borrowed from football terminology, this is the protective posture assumed by any guy who thinks he is about to get hit in the nads. The dude quickly closes his legs and shields his crotch with both hands so that he doesn't get racked.
I told him that his Mom was hot and then immediately went into the cover 2 defense.

B: ok but that seems kind of implausible so did that actually happen or are you just Joy Reid defense'ing me right now?

A copypasta talking about the use of american revolution weaponry as home defense weaponry
Home Defense Musket: Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
