Juan Gamer's Law 

Juan Gamer's Law dictates that if someone responds to a claim by saying it is a logical fallacy, it means they no longer can defend their position and they have lost the argument.
Saying that a claim is a logical fallacy as way to easily disprove it is a way to avoid the issue without actually having to refute it.
For example, if someone says that your claim is an ad hominem, you then try to prove that you are not using an ad hominem rather than try to defend your original point. It's a subtle way to switch goalposts during an argument and way to get stuck in a loop of trying to figure out the claim was a logical fallacy.
Statements that trigger Juan Gamer's Law
"That's just an ad hominem"
"You're strawmanning me"
"If you're anti X then that means you are X"

Gamer's guilt 

Gamer's guilt is the apologetic way that gamers talk about video games when they know other people are listening. They will shy away from in depth discussion or areas that sound nerdy and will change their tone in order to appear as if they are speaking about their beloved games in an ironic manner.

The root of gamer's guilt stems from the gamer's fear of being viewed in a sterotypical manner.
I keep trying to talk with John on the bus about call of duty but we can never talk properly because he gets really bad gamer's guilt.
