Entrotopic

Entrotopic: adjective. Describing something which is in the middle of two topics in a discussion or argument. Very often people introduce a type of filler, while people are organising their ideas and thoughts, and this is known as the entrotopic. It was originally used in the famous discussion of 1890 between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison, where they were discussing their favourite fruits and vegetables. They both managed to agree that celery was the best vegetable, but after an entrotopic, they could not agree on the best fruit. Tesla wanted the kumquat, while Edison was greatly in favour of the passion fruit. Their inability to resolve their differences led to their break up and ceasing of cooperation.
