Argumentum Ad Veritatem
A form of Truth Bias where one invokes "truth" as a self-justifying warrant for their position, treating their claims as simply what's true and therefore beyond challenge. The fallacy lies in using the concept of truth to immunize one's views from examination—"I'm just telling the truth" becomes a way of saying "I don't need to argue, because what I say is simply reality." This fallacy shuts down inquiry rather than advancing it, positioning the speaker as the conduit of truth and all opponents as either deceived or deceivers. It's argument by assertion of virtue, not by evidence or reason.
Example: "She responded to every question with 'I'm just telling the truth'—as if saying it made it so. Argumentum Ad Veritatem: using the word 'truth' to avoid having to demonstrate it."

Fleg
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.
The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.
The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
