Vatican Syndrome

When a non-religious person visits a place of great Christian significance (such as The Vatican), and is so enchanted by the art and scenery that they consider becoming a born-again Christian.
“Seeing all of the statues, all of the artwork, I just feel like this place is *right*, you know?”

“Sounds like classic Vatican Syndrome to me.”

Devil’s Appetite

To habitually and often uncontrollably chew one’s own flesh, to eat oneself, often out of anxiety or boredom.

Common appendages on the body that are subjected to the effects of Devil’s Appetite are the sides of one’s knuckles, callouses on the soles of feet and toes, and the palms of one’s hands.
“Michael, why is there blood smudged on your paper?”

“Sorry, I have Devil’s Appetite and sometimes I take it a little too far.”

Dick Duelling

The act of yourself and an opponent perfectly aligning your penises and urinate as hard as you can, so that the two jets hit eachother. The winner of the duel is whomever lasts the longest, or manages to defeat their opponent by pushing their stream back.
Enough of this, let’s settle this like real men! Through Dick Duelling!

The Narrative

A conspiracy theory stating that liberal & left-wing media outlets such as CNN cherrypick news stories in order to promote ideas of demonisation against “privileged” groups, such as mass shootings carried out by white perpetrators, and likewise embargo stories that contradict this point of view, such as rampant black-on-black violence.
“What? White Farmers are being murdered in South Africa? Why isn’t anybody reporting this!?”

“Because it doesn’t fit The Narrative.”

Quizmaster Fallacy

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:

A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850

You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.
"How did you know that was the right answer?"

"It didn't follow the pattern of the other answers, why else would the Quizmaster have put it there? It's the Quizmaster Fallacy in action!"
