Postmodernist Art 

Pointless, ugly, unpleasant dribble that could enter a competition against found garbage and still lose made by talent-less posers steeped in smug, self-affirming attitudes of rebellion and uniqueness, while in fact being neither rebellious nor unique.
You can't thrash on the floor and make screeching noises in the MoMA and call it postmodernist art. It's not edgy and nihilistic, you just suck too much to actually make anything.

Postmodernist Scumbag 

Everyone on Planet Earth.
Hey dude, is there anyone alive who isn't some postmodernist scumbag?

postmodernist construct 

a meaningless, ridiculous, or counter-factual idea that has been created and promoted by pretentious, logically-challenged people
Intersectionality is a postmodernist construct

Postmodernista Es Fallacy

A fallacy where someone dismisses all arguments of a person by labeling them a "postmodernist." The label functions as a dismissal: if you're postmodernist, your arguments are automatically confused, relativist, or nihilistic. The fallacy lies in treating the label as refutation, ignoring that postmodernism is a diverse tradition with serious thinkers and that labeling someone doesn't engage their actual claims. It's intellectual dismissal by category association.
"I mentioned that knowledge might be socially constructed. Response: 'Oh, you're one of those postmodernists.' That's Postmodernista Es Fallacy—using the label to dismiss, not engaging the claim. Social construction of knowledge is a serious position; calling it 'postmodernist' doesn't refute it. It just shows you'd rather name-call than think."

Postmodernist Logico-Epistemology

A framework influenced by postmodern thinkers (Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault) that radically questions the foundations of Western logic and epistemology. It rejects grand narratives of reason, progress, and truth, arguing that what passes for knowledge is always tied to power and language games. Postmodernist logico‑epistemology often deconstructs binary oppositions (true/false, rational/irrational) and reveals the excluded middle or the incommensurable. It does not offer a new logical system but rather a critical stance toward all claims of epistemic certainty, embracing irony, play, and the irreducible otherness of the real.
Postmodernist Logico-Epistemology Example: “Her postmodernist logico‑epistemology analysis showed that the ‘fact/value’ distinction collapses under scrutiny—facts are always already laden with values, and values make truth claims.”

Postmodernist Logic

A controversial and often satirical term referring to styles of reasoning associated with postmodern philosophy: rejection of binary oppositions, embrace of paradox, deconstruction of universal truth, and emphasis on language, power, and discourse. It is not a formal logical system but a label used pejoratively by critics (especially in online science debates) to dismiss arguments that seem to violate classical logic or rely on “continental” philosophy. In the Urban Dictionary sense, “postmodernist logic” often means “using self‑referential paradoxes to claim that all logic is arbitrary” or “arguing that because facts are socially constructed, there is no truth.” Defenders of postmodernism would reject this caricature. The term is frequently weaponized in flamewars: “That’s just postmodernist logic!” to mean “you’re being intentionally obscure and rejecting reality.”
Example: “He argued that scientific facts are socially constructed. She scoffed: ‘Nice postmodernist logic – so by your reasoning, gravity is just a narrative? Try jumping off a building with that belief.’ He clarified that social construction doesn’t mean non‑real, but the damage was done.”
