Knights Who Say 'Ni' Effect

When something good (or at the very least "okay") becomes insufferable by association with those who like and/or praise it.
In the time since then and the release of Portal 2, you'll be pleased to hear that I eventually did come up with a criticism for Portal 1: it's got the worst fucking fans in the world. Nothing ruins a good thing quite like knowing you share your opinions with mindless little tits who bray like mules if you so much as mention the word "cake," and the good thing in question can never be the same again. This is technically known as the "Knights Who Say 'Ni' Effect."

Anti-Stratfordians

People who believe, to one capacity or another, the theory that William Shakespeare of Stratford did not write the plays that he had become famous for.
"There are certain people who believe that Shakespeare's plays are so sophisticated, so erudite, so brain-crapingly good that a middle-class kid from the Boondocks without a University degree couldn't possibly have written them. Why no one suspects the same from degree-less writers Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens is anyone's guess. Still, the belief goes that only some one with a vast education and a noble soul could have designed such masterpieces. Shakespeare's too perfect not to be made by a perfect human. It is literary creationism."

Black Dynamite Deduction

Where one deduces a solution to a problem or mystery by taking one clue and bringing it to another in a long chain of paranoid connections until it leads to the conclusion. Named after the famous ''Anaconda Malt Liquor Conclusion Scene'' in Black Dynamite, where the titular character somehow realizes that Anaconda Malt liquor was the government's secret weapon after Bullhorn said "melt in your mouth", making several arbitrary connections until it led to the answer.
*Gasp* "Human being"? That word kind of sounds like "bean." Beans are legumes, "legumes" has the word "leg" in it. Ian's mom has really nice legs, and Ian's mom is so old she's practically dead, which can only mean one thing! Oh my Bieber! YOU'RE BECOMING A ZOMBIE!

Trans-Right

A person who is Authoritarian-Right but identifies as Libertarian, or vice versa.
Not to be confused with trans rights, something that people who are Trans-Right would be against.
Ben Shapiro may identify as a Libertarian, but a lot of his opinions are inherently authoritarian: ant-gay rights, anti-feminism, banning porn and drugs and corporate demagoguery over communal democracy under the flimsy pretense of a meritocracy.

Like a lot of other people of the Trans-Right, he thinks the Political Compass is a liberal conspiracy because it is more accurate than his own claims.

The Deadbeat, the Bastard and the Assholy Ghost

The kind of God that is in support of slavery, misogyny, genocide and various other things that turn people off religion.
"Go ye therefore, and pillage all nations, bastardizing them in the

name of the Deadbeat, the Bastard and the Assholy Ghost"
--Matthew 28:19 (abridged by a very vocal atheist)

Nazisploitation

A genre of exploitation cinema that focuses primarily on Nazis, Adolf Hitler and other associations of the third reich and Nazi Party. Notable themes include torture, rape, bondage, BDSM, S&M, sexual deviance, fascism, militarism, World War 2, concentration camps and Dieselpunk.
Neil: I'm telling you, man. "SS Girls" was a billion times more disturbing than "Women's Camp 119."
Craig: "Women's Camp 119" takes place in a frickin' extermination camp! If "SS Girls" had taken place in an extermination camp I'd agree with you. But it's in a whorehouse, so it might as well be a musical!
Gene: This is really a genre? Nazisploitation? You guys don't see anything wrong with this?
Neil: Oh, yes. God forbid somebody exploits the Nazis.
Gene:That's not what I meant dude...
