A logical fallacy in which one event is said to be the cause of a later event simply because it occurred earlier. From the Latin, short for post hoc, ergo propter hoc, "after this, therefore because of this."

Basically: A occurred, then B occurred. Therefore, A caused B.
Post Hoc: Roosters crow just before the sun rises. Therefore, roosters crowing causes the sun to rise.

Post hoc rationalization 

Don't care bitch you don't hage a right to do it EITHER WAY you fucking mongrel. You need to take your own advice and humble yourselves OR get your kids murdered more frequently until you learn to stop infesting people's lives like the cockroaches you are.
Hym "You're trying this as post hoc rationalization and it isn't going to work. 1 or 0 fuck-face. Choose."

Post hoc date

When two people in the 'talking phase' meet up initially and do date type things without planning on it, only to later realise that their meeting could qualify as a date.

Post hoc date refers to a date that is officially recognized or labeled as such after the fact, rather than being a planned or intentional first date.
The couple laughed about their first meeting, realizing that it was actually a post hoc date, as they had already grown close through weeks of getting to know each other.

Post hoc rationalization 

Funny how it isn't good enough when it comes to the rape-porn...
Hym "But you will take any post hoc rationalization to justify a years long surveillance and harassment campaign that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia. And that's all this is. 'Rage-baiting' until you can generate some post hoc rationalization for what you wanted to do from the get-go which was 'ruin somebody's life.' And it can't be allowed to happen. It doesn't matter what I said about your kids or what I said about your religion or rape because when someone does it to your pastor and he goes to a costume warehouse and then takes a trip down to your local senator's house... SOMEONE is going to wish someone would have pulled the lever to the trolly at some point down the antecedent chain. But you are trying to condemn people into living a ruined life by democratic fiat or arbitrary whim. And as you can see from the gif below... You are not doing what you need to do to contain the pandemic. And no me threatening your kids does not make you more rational than you actually are which is 'not at all.' So the does need to end the weaponization. FOR ME. AND NOW. They need to do their job and play ref because the score is still X-0 and it's not even a game."

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
