Get the niagara falls impression mug.(LOGIC) a logical fallacy in which a person defends against an allegation by accusing an adversary of doing the same thing. It's a classic douchebag move because it implies that the speaker has a RIGHT to be a douchebag, by virtue of the fact that someone ELSE is being a douchebag.
From Latin, for "you, too."
WHY IT'S BAD
Suppose A is accused of terrorism. He reacts by accusing B, his enemy, of terrorism. Now, it's possible (but unlikely) that A actually chose this argument knowing he was totally innocent. More likely he wants to claim that his terrorism is PROVOKED. In effect, he's saying, "I have to do this, or I'm entitled to do this, because B did it first."
First, as logic it's a red herring. But what makes it douchebaggery rather than just another wartime propaganda tactic, is that it's MORALLY irrelevant as well as LOGICALLY irrelevant. The victims of terrorism almost never have any material control over either perpetrator ever.

ANNA: Abu Yahya, I don't know if your definition of "tu quoque fallacy" belongs in the Urban Dictionary. This isn't Wikipedia, you know.
ABU YAHYA: The reason I did is that I see all the time people using the rationale that, because somebody else did something bad to me, therefore I get to do something similar to anybody. It's sort of like sloppy revenge.
ANNA: Like men punishing random women because their girlfriends allegedly did something shitty to them?
ABU YAHYA: Actually, that's a perfect example of a tu quoque!

Get the box of old shoes falling from the loft mug.An awesome game from Bethseda Softworks, for lack of a more accurate word this game is the shit. It's everything you dreamt about having in Fallout 3, only more intense. So much more intense that our tiny human brains cannot mentally handle the aazingness, and must contact aliens to await further instructions. The latest game in the series following Fallout 3, it's an easy runner for 2010 Game Of The Year.

Get the Fallout: New Vegas mug.One of the best RPG games of all time. it's setting is a post nuclear world in which the reamining people are trying to live life anew. you may choose to beat the game in any order or pattern you want. each time you play it you discover new secrets, quests and ways of beating the game. it may be old but the graphics are not what this game is about. it has probably the most unique and cleverly written story that i have ever seen in a computer game. the writers at Interplay and Black Isle did an amazing job at keeping the plot steady yet full of unusual twists. this game is must have for RPG lovers out there.
