<<Try "Micky Mouse.">> No, Mickey Mouse is a good phrase, but is entirely different. A "Mickey Mouse" answer is one that is either a trite response or one that proposes a solution that is a bad, unreliable, or side-effect based hack. A "Mickey Mouse" proposal is, well, "Rinky Dink" or something like that. A "Chicken Shit" response is one that is in some ways below the belt. It is a response that is off point, usually intentionally. It is also a response that is intended to derail a conversation sometimes without the others being aware that this is the net effect. Sometimes it is designed to make other people mad or to throw them off guard so that they appear irrational or uncooperative when you are the one that would otherwise be conspicuous by your lack of assistance. They are quite different. But, thanks for the suggestion. I am open to one if it exists.
