Vā'-kənt mɪrərɪŋ/ noun "Vacant Rhetoric" "Vacant Imitation" "Vacant Rhetorical Mirroring" - The practice of imitating or erroneously employing rhetoric, claims, or rhetorical devices insubstantially in substitution of substantive rhetoric or claims with the intention of falsely conveying substance. - Mimicking substantive speech or rhetoric to imply substance to an insubstantial argument, position, or claim. eg; "Ronny is in an debate and resorts to a 'straw man' fallacy. His opponent points out his use of the straw man and wins the debate. In a later debate, Ronny, having lost the previous debate after his opponent accused him of using a 'straw man' fallacy, decides that he too will simply accuse his opponent of using a 'straw man' tactic and thereby win. But since his opponent did not use a straw man tactic, Ronny still loses. Ronny has engaged in 'Vacant Mirroring'."
