Infamous debate tactic used by amateurs, grifters who are paid by shills, and people who only care about winning alike, the Gish Gallop is a tactic in which one person purposefully gives as many incorrect or falsely-quoted statistics as possible in a very short time frame. This forces the opponent to waste speaking time taking down endless strawmen and lies created by their opponent, and is usually a sign that the utilizer is arguing in bad faith. People with scientifically/factually incorrect positions such as TERFs, Neo-Nazis, and infamously, Young Earth Creationists, often use this tactic as simply quoting reputable sources and studies is not an option.
The Gish Gallop is a tactic commonly used when you have no shame or care for fact and just want to win.

An unbeleivably terrible prognosticator. This term came about when, Ken Gish, a participant in a three strikes (survivor) pool picked losing teams in each of the first three weeks, making his exit as quickly as possible from the pool. Simply amazing, since you only get a strike if the heavily favored team you pick loses in each of the first three weeks.
"To pull a Gish" means that you take three strikes in the first three weeks of an NFL three strikes pool.
