Applesaucin'

Applesaucin' is slang for using the valid argument form "Modus ponens," sometimes called "affirming the antecedent."

Origin:

"We can clearly see the validity of Norcross’s argument as he correctly employs the logical device of affirming the antecedent (or as we call it in the streets: applesaucin’)."

"He's just applesaucin', but his first premise is false."

"Applesauce all you want, but your shit's still unsound."
