pretzel logic

fallible, twisted or circular resaoning that when dissected is wrong, does not make sense or does not explain the situation rationally.

Alleged presence of WMDs in Iraq, when explained in full with all the facts known after the fact, show that that the explanation of WMD being present in Iraq is pretzel logic or nonsense.

Logic Pretzel

A twisted, convoluted argument that sounds reasonable on the surface but makes absolutely no sense when examined closely. Often used by manipulative people to avoid accountability or dismiss someone else's valid feelings.

Etymology: Derived from the way actual pretzels are twisted into impossible shapes - much like how some people twist basic logic until it's completely unrecognizable.

Common characteristics:

Uses fancy words to sound smart
Contains circular reasoning
Makes the listener question their own sanity
Usually delivered with complete confidence
Falls apart immediately under scrutiny

"My ex gave me a total logic pretzel when he said he couldn't validate my feelings because they contradicted his feelings. Like, sir, that's not how emotions work."

Example in a sentence: "Don't let him feed you that logic pretzel - two people can have different opinions about the same event and both be valid!"

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
