Seinfeld # 119, “The Sponge”:

ELAINE (warns): She’s gonna ask how you got her number.
JERRY: Oh, I’ll tell her I met some guy who knew her and he gave it to me.
ELAINE: What’s he look like?
JERRY: I really didn’t pay much attention, I’d just come from buying a speedboat.
ELAINE: You’re buying a speedboat?
JERRY: See, we’re already off the subject of how I got her number. (Elaine laughs.) All I gotta do is get past the first phone call and I’m home free.
ELAINE: I don’t know about that.

Full Romney (noun, colloquial)

/fo͝ol rämnē/

Series of statements by a politician, reverting from a position taken for political advantage to a previous, opposite position, now often held by an opponent, with a subsequent reversal, sometimes termed “clarification,” to the now intermediate position of perceived advantage.

Variations include a partial or half Romney, which lacks defined opposition except the politician’s previous statements, and a reverse Romney, in which the politician denies any difference between the various positions.

Instances have been recorded of grand Romneys, when accumulated full and partial Romneys preclude determination of any broader political philosophy.
