Definitions and meanings of "Debates"

What do we mean by debates?

An argument, or discussion, usually in an ordered or formal setting, often with more than two people, generally ending with a vote or other decision.

An informal and spirited but generally civil discussion of opposing views.

Discussion of opposing views.

(frequently in the French form débat) A type of literary composition, taking the form of a discussion or disputation, commonly found in the vernacular medieval poetry of many European countries, as well as in medieval Latin.

Strife, discord.

To remove the wings from a bat causing it to transform into an actual mouse. Once debat'ed a bat turned mouse (aka bat-born mouse) cannot be rebat'ed, as sufficient technology does not yet exist to perform this complex biologic process. However, a native mouse (mouse-born mouse) may be bat'ed in the right laboratory setting. Under stringent lab conditions found in only several labs in the world (most notably Lucerne, Switzerland) a mouse can be fitted with genetically engineered wings grown from tissue culture using advanced cloning technology. Fitting a mouse with these wings (bat'ing) causes the mouse to become a bat. A notable distinction in the process of debat'ing occurs if a bat that is debat'ed was in fact a vampire. Under these conditions, a vampire bat that is debat'ed becomes a human being. A human being fitted with wings, on the other hand, does not become a vampire, rather, said individual would become Icarus. Urban Dictionary

The act of debating while intoxicated. Urban Dictionary

Said if you disagree or just want to be an asshole. greatest word ever...taking the world by storm! Urban Dictionary

Today, a form of intellectual self-masturbation in which one attempts to scale an ivory tower in the shortest time possible. Policy debate was founded in 1957 in an attempt to disguise the throes of the real world with dignified, "intellectual" switch-side arguments. The framers intended it to allow young people to become more active in the world around them and encourage them to do something to help the ailing world. Instead, debaters made the activity into a competition of who could spew the most statistics, impacts, horribly damnable effects/results, screaming evidence at cutthroat speed, and modern debate sprouted as a result. Debate resides close to the top of the proverbial "ivory tower", as the real world gets translated into evidence and impacts, statistics and "strats" to win tournaments. Those who participate for the fun of it are exempt from this definition; it is only applicable to debate when it is applied as a critical theory that can "benefit the world". Urban Dictionary

A phrase used to dismiss previous statements that contradict the current image that one is trying to uphold. Urban Dictionary
