/Sounds like "foo" (as in "food") + "nahm" (as in "nacho") + "boo" (as in "boot") + "LEES" (as in "lead") + "moh" (as in "more")/
In Spanish politics and media, the art of walking a tightrope between two opposing positions without committing to either one. A politician practicing funambulismo gives contradictory signals, plays both sides, and never gives a straight answer. From the Latin "funambulus," the tightrope walker.
“That member of parliament has been doing pure tightrope-walking for weeks, never giving a yes or no.”
“Political balancing acts have limits: at some point you have to pick a side.”
