Semian

Semian is the kind of person you only meet once in your life. No matter what, he will always be there for you in good and bad times, and will always be your personal cheerleader. He is soft spoken, shy at first and underestimates his potential. Highly intelligent. Loyal and the best friend you could ever wish for. Always cracks the most stupid jokes. We all should have our own Semian in our lives, but never take them for granted!

Oh look, there‘s Semian. He‘s full of love, passion and life. I should be more like him, and spent more time with him. I wish i can give him back, what he always does for me!

Semi-formal Laws of Logic

The messy, real-world application of formal logic where human language, context, and ambiguity crash into pure reason. These are the rules that govern arguments when you're not dealing with mathematical symbols but with actual sentences that mean slightly different things to different people. "A is A" becomes "A is A, unless A is being sarcastic, or metaphorical, or referencing a meme you don't understand." Semi-formal logic acknowledges that while the underlying laws are absolute, their application in human communication requires interpretation, charity, and occasionally, asking "What do you mean by that?"

Semi-formal Laws of Logic"Technically, when I said 'I'm literally dying of hunger,' I violated the Law of Identity because I'm not literally dying. But by Semi-formal Logic, you understood I was hangry and should have offered me a snack instead of correcting me."

Semi-fallacies

Reasoning errors that are almost but not quite full fallacies—arguments that have the appearance of fallaciousness without fully meeting the criteria. Semi-fallacies live in the borderlands between valid and invalid reasoning. An argument might be technically fallacious but practically reasonable; it might contain a fallacy but still point toward truth. Semi-fallacies are the gray areas of logic, where rigid categorization fails. Recognizing them requires judgment, not just memorization of fallacy names. They're the reason fallacy-spotting in online debates is often itself fallacious—because real arguments rarely fit cleanly into textbook categories.

Semi-fallacies Example: "His argument had the shape of a slippery slope, but the slope was short and the steps well-supported. Was it a fallacy or just a prediction? Semi-fallacy—not quite one, not quite not. She couldn't simply cry 'fallacy' and dismiss it; she had to engage the substance. The gray area demanded thought, not labels."

Semicolon

(As a human reaction)

The first reaction of a teenager experiencing their first pubic action; (male: boner {not from waking up, from sexual interaction} | female: period/slight tingling in the vagina from sexual interaction).

That dude Jake from the 6th grade was probably having a Semicolon earlier, I saw his 'levitating pants' when he was talking to that 8th grader.
