Definition

That carefully-crafted, legally-vetted, PR-approved thing you say when confronted with criticism, a crisis, or a simple yes-or-no question that somehow requires a 500-word statement. Technically an answer, practically a masterclass in saying nothing while sounding thoughtful.

Example Usage

The CEO's response to the data breach was so perfectly noncommittal that no one could tell if he'd actually addressed the problem.
