Definitions
A 'fence-sitting hedge' refers to a statement, action, or position that deliberately avoids taking a clear side or making a firm commitment, often to avoid conflict or maintain flexibility. It combines the idea of 'fence-sitting' (remaining neutral or undecided) with 'hedging' (protecting oneself against potential loss or criticism by being noncommittal or ambiguous).
