argumentum ad saladbar 

When used in an argument, a person takes various scraps of talking points and tosses them together into a bowl, then tries to pass the word salad as a cogent argument.

In discussing the Boston Bombings and the Republican Congressmen who should understand the Constitution as pertains to the rights of American citizens, a commenter referred to the president as "Obummer" and said that the article about Republican Congressmen should have been entitled "Obama doesn't understand the Constitution" because the borders are not secure and Mexican drug cartels get guns. The comment has nothing to do with the article and can be dismissed as argumentum ad saladbar.

Argumentum ab Scientia

Argumentum ab Scientia can mean two things, the first one is appeal to expertise, where it seeks on tell something is truth based on the opinion of experts on certain theme, but it can also mean appeal to science, that’s an argument where it says since something is considered as science it’s absolute and cannot be questioned. Both are two forms of argumentum ab scientia, being appeal to expertise more common than appeal to science.

“Argumentum ab Scientia is a common argument, mainly among scientistic people or people who put science, mainly natural sciences, as an absolute truth. The two main examples of the argumentum ab scientia can be a question to climate change and the second be “LGBT is a science then cannot be questioned” or even that “there’s nothing beyond matter and there’s just matter because naturalism, scientism and physicalism proved that”. Both are two forms of argumentum ab scientia, being the first one not actually an argumentum ad baculum and the second one is an argumentum ad baculum.!

argumentum ad dictionarium 

Using a language dictionary to argue your points, to justify your actions, and/or to claim that all uses of a given word outside of a given dictionary are incorrect. Fallacious as English dictionaries do not prescribe usage, but merely describe how words are used by society.

Person 1: Stop treating your 35 year old son like a child. He's not a child anymore.
Person 2: But the dictionary says so. *pulls out Oxford* A child is "a son or daughter of any age". My 35 year old is my son, therefore he is a child. That means my 35 year old is not ready to watch anything but G rated movies, cannot drink beer, must obey my commands at all times, isn't old enough for a job, and...
Person 1: Classic argumentum ad dictionarium.

Argumentum ad indium 

Argumentum ad indium 19:52
An argumentum ad indium (Faux Latin: "appeal to the indies"), in logic, is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be false because many or all people like it; it alleges that "If many likes it, it is crap."
This type of argument is known by several names, including appeal to the few, appeal to the self, appeal to the minority, argument by dissent, authority of the few, and bandwagon certainty.

It is also the basis of a number of seemingly paradoxical social phenomena, including communal reinforcement and the bandwagon effect, the spreading of various musical and anti-musical beliefs, and of the Indie proverb "I liked band x before they sold out".

"Sure I might have briefly enjoyed Kings Of Leon's earlier work, but their latest album is pure pandering to the masses" - Argumentum ad indium
