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!
--Anthony Padilla from Smosh using Black Dynamite Deduction to deduce that Ian Hecox is 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.

Churchlish

Religious dogma used as an excuse to act assholish and mean-spirited to everybody. Portmanteau of "church" and "churlish".

Just because the Bible says that you can buy women does not mean you have the right to pawn your daughter off to a creep with a checkbook. That's just churchlish.

Regressive Right

Regressive Right is is composed of the more negative aspects of far right political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Neocons. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Left.

Such examples include sexism against women by virtue of their gender, denouncement of racism while simultaneously denouncing people of color by virtue of their skin color, denouncement of any economic philosophy alien to Capitalism, Christian apologetics, Islamophobia, American Exceptionalism, etc.

Some on the Regressive Right completely ignore the entire Bill of Rights except for the 2nd amendment, disregarding the benefits of secularism under the pretense that America is a Christian nation.

Arkham's razor

The weirdest explanation is the correct one. Opposite of Occam's razor.

Occam's razor says that people used primitive tech and slave labor build the pyramids. Arkham's razor says that Satan called in a favor from space aliens to build them in order to make people disbelieve in Jesus hundreds of years before he was born.
