Dilatory tactic
Okay kiddo, imagine you're playing with your toys, but you don't want to share them with your friend who is visiting. So, every time they ask for a toy, you pretend to be busy doing something else or say you'll share it later. This is what we call a dilatory tactic.
Basically, a dilatory tactic is a way of delaying or avoiding something you don't want to do. It's like stalling, procrastinating, or postponing something. People may use dilatory tactics to control or manipulate situations, avoid confrontation, or simply buy themselves more time.
For example, if someone owes you money, but they keep telling you they'll pay you back later, that's a dilatory tactic. Or if someone in a meeting keeps asking unnecessary questions or bringing up unrelated topics to delay the discussion, that's also a dilatory tactic.
But just like not sharing your toys isn't very nice, using dilatory tactics can be unfair or dishonest. It's important to communicate clearly and respectfully with others, rather than trying to avoid things or manipulate them.
