If an awkward girl won't leave you alone, make like Ian Malcolm and stop whatever conversation you were having to freeze like a statue. Her vision is based on movement and she will pass you by for tastier prey, like a T-Rex.
"Kelly from the bar came up to me last night and I couldn't shake her off, I had to utilize the T-Rex Defense in hopes she would move on and attack some lawyer guy on a toilet."

A state of the art defense system where any one that is doing something deemed inappropriate by the system is immediately confronted by a large, harry, big-foot like beast with a large belt hanging over his shoulder, and instantly snapped in half like a pretzel.

1. The ultimate definition of trying to justify one's masculinity by doing overtly ignorant acts in the name of being "hardcore."
We're going to do control point measures that rival Iraq, because we have nothing better to do, because we're Air Defense Artillery, we even have a song, what?!

The act of constantly saying "no" or "no, thank you" or "I don't need that" to sales people who persistently try to up-sell you additional services or add-ons during a point of sale or negotiation of service(s).
So after 10 mins of playing up-sell defense I am totally exhausted. Mind you, I just want a car wash. If I wanted to get up sold and haggled out, I would have gone to the swap meet for some churros and butterfly knifes. How many times to I have to say no, I don't want that super wax?

The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) is a system proposed by President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983 to use space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear missiles. It was dubbed "Star Wars" by opponents, implying it is an impractical science fiction fantasy, but supporters have adopted the usage as well on the grounds that yesterday's science fiction is often tomorrow's engineering. While Gorbachev's reforms deserve a vast majority of the blame, or credit, for the collapse of the Soviet Union, SDI may have contributed to the fall by successfully applying the strategy of technology, which was a prevalent doctrine at the time.
Project and proposals
The proposal was sharply criticized for its potential costs, doubts that it would be technologically feasible and afford complete protection against all delivery systems, concerns that it would violate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and the Outer Space Treaty and destabilize the nuclear balance of power.
The research was controlled by the Strategic Defense Initiative Office, an agency of the Department of Defense until 1993, when it was renamed the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. Department of Defense cost estimates for SDI-related spending during fiscal years 1984-1994 amounted to US$32.6 billion. An independent report by the Congressional Research Service arrived at a much higher figure of US$70.7 billion 1.
The project was repeatedly scaled back, renamed Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS, dubbed "Son of Star Wars") in 1991, and refocused on protection from smaller attacks. GPALS was based on a ground system of rocket-launched interceptors aimed at preventing small scale launches by "rogue states" (apparently North Korea, Libya, Iraq or Iran) from impacting on the US.
Missile Defense
President Bill Clinton almost halted the program, but it has regained momentum under President George W. Bush, whose version is called the National Missile Defense (NMD).
