Bargument

An argument between two or more people about trivial, nonsensical, unimportant topics that occur only while drinking at bar. Typically unrelated to any topical or pertinent discussion topics, and has no real emotional ties for those involved.

Example 1:
Dude A: "Tom Waits wrote Ol' 55. I'm sure of it."
Dude B: "No, the Eagles did, and Tom Waits jacked them!"
Dude A: "No, The Eagles covered that tune. Look it up!"
Bartender: "Hey guys, keep that bargument down over there, you're creeping out the cool kids."

Example 2:
In text message to oustide source: "I'm in the middle of a bargument- what was that 1980's film about the pizza delivery boy played by Patrick Dempsey? I said Loverboy, but no one will agree..."

straw hat argument

Originally a bastardization of the phrase "straw man argument," which has now come to mean any argument so ridiculous and nonsensical that it isn't even worth debating.

Bearer1 says, "A child mentality in that immaturity affords them the rights of the immaturity to respond with substandard response."

Rath replies, "WTF, that's a straw hat argument!"

argument

A verbal disagreement between 2 (or more) people, in which each person attempts to convince the other that they are correct. Usually results in neither person changing their view on the matter, which begs the question:

What purpose does it serve to have an argument when you know you won't change their opinion, and they know you won't change yours?

None, you idiot. There is no purpose in having an argument, besides entertainment to those around you for 5 minutes, before the spectators realize you are both just repeating your points raising your voices each time. Stop arguing, its a waste of time and energy.

Having an argument is pointless

Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia

Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia, is a variation of the Argumentum ab Scientia, this is a kind of argument that seeks to consider an idea, hypothesis, concept or theory as invalid or false by using of possible flaws that exist inside it to consider it as “pseudoscientific” or even make comparisons with themes considered as “pseudosciences” such as climate denial, Flat Earth, antivax and so on. Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is considered one of the main arguments using over the “Science Wars” and it’s even used nowadays in order to invalid opposite ideas, hypothesis, concepts and theories. A famous variation of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is the Argumentum ab Fimbria, that’s a variation of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia but considering the theme as “fringe” or as “non-mainstream” for be considered as “invalid or false.

“The use of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is really common nowadays, such as the uses of the Argumentum ab Fimbria, both kinds of arguments are well used nowadays by new atheists, anti-theists, scientificists and “skepticals” in order to invalid any idea or thing that’s opposite to them, and they use it all the time, mainly about potential evidences about multiverses, souls/spirits, consciousness, afterlife, extraphysics/nonphysics, existence of extraphysical life and so on, together with their confirmation bias as well.”

fargument

An embarrassing but thoroughly entertaining argument on Facebook, either between Facebook friends, or strangers with very little knowledge of their privacy settings.

Little Johnny and slightly smaller Geoffles had a fargument on John's status, about size – while the entire Eastern Seaboard read on.

Trumpian argument

Logical fallacy. repetitive stating of discredited accusations, conspiracy theories, and unrelated events for the soul purpose of conflating them with attempts at logical discourse.

When I asked my son if the dishes were done he provided the Trumpian argument that Epstein didn't kill himself, and asked where the missing emails are.
