association fallacy

An illegitimate child between ad hominem (because association fallacy focused on the PERSON or PEOPLE instead of the ARGUMENT), appeal to emotion, hasty generalization, questionable cause fallacy (because "labels" associated to someone or something can determine the degree of "truth"), and red herring (because it deliberately derails the argument)

Association Fallacy has two kinds:
1. Guilt by association
2. Honour by association

Example of association fallacy:

"You're Neo-Nazi, therefore your argument must be wrong" (Godwin's Law/Reductio ad Hitlerum)
"You are leftist liberal special snowflake, therefore your argument is dismissed" (Red-bait/Red-tag)
"You're the expert, therefore your opinion must be right" (Honour by association)

Cannon Falls

That indescribable moment when you’re at the onset of an episode of explosive diarrhea. The moment you squat over the toilet seat and begin to drop your pants, there isn’t a second to hold the eruption back any longer. Before your pants are fully down and before you’ve fully sat down the explosion begins and you fire away at the bowl beneath you whilst trying your hardest NOT to miss. Once you’ve completely seated yourself the explosions continue and you get a feeling of relief knowing you just missed making a complete mess of yourself and the bathroom.

I wasn’t sure I’d get to the toilet on time and as I began to squat and drop my pants, cannon falls commenced and I sat in relief knowing I just missed soiling myself.

Niagara Falls

No, not the mountain. I’m talking about when a girl gets up after sitting for a while or moves around a bit too much on their period and BOOM gush of blood.

“Can you check me? *walks in front of friend*
“Girl you had niagara falls come on.”

Logical fallacies

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.

Also related to non sequitur.

1) Jim called out his boss by using logical fallacies to poke holes in his ridiculous decisions.
2) Tommy used logical fallacies to his advantage in order to expose the inconsistencies in his girlfriend's reasoning with regards to how he should spend his money.
