Martial art argument

A martial art argument is a comparison that is always terrible, usually by comparing a higher quantity of lower quality to a lower quantity of a higher quality.

-"My cousin is a soldier and he shot fifty men in combat last year!"
="Enough with your martial art argument, John, his fifty kills were armed with rocks and sticks only"

One-dimensional argument

An argument; whether that may be scientific, mathematical, or a general disagreement whereby an individual only provides one viewpoint and gives no further perspective on said point - especially when it comes to research articles and professional works.

The work done by Professor James Rick was nothing but a one-dimensional argument preaching about how the earth is not flat.

distinctively heated argument

A valid synonym for "masturbation", usually used to bypass moderative systems.

It can also be used as a replacement for *fap*.

Yeah, so I had a distinctively heated argument last night. The opponent was very competitive, and we debated for a good hour or so, but I eventually won the argument by bringing up respectable views and opinions on the matter at hand.

"Oh, man, that's some good porn. *has a distinctively heated argument with one's self*"

bingo argument

Attempts to refute an argument by showing that it matches a pattern of behavior typical of a person or group. What makes something right or wrong is the set of reasons for it, not the ability to recognize that it exists. (Can also be thought of as argument by pattern-matching.)

"You match a pattern of behavior or stereotype that I have described, therefore you are wrong."

Libertarian bingo, liberal bingo, feminist bingo, MRA bingo, and pretty much any bingo card refutation are examples of bingo arguments.

alabama argument

When someone asks how many national championships does your college football team have and then says the college football team their a fan of has more national championships than your team does. It's usually a pointless attempt to say their team is good at that point in time because the roster their team had when they were winning has no relation to the roster their team has now. Deductively it's an epic fail, but may or may not partially be inductively sound. It's a common argument made by Alabama fans when Auburn fans try to say how good the Tigers are for the year, but can be used with any school that has won more national championships than a fierce rival.

State fan: "U of M sucks scrotum this year".
U of M fan: "Yeah? How many national championships does State have?"
State fan: "None, but Kirk Cousins shat on you guys last year and he'll do it again".
U of M fan: " WE STILL HAVE X NUMBER OF NATIONAL TITLES"
State Fan: "Drop the Alabama argument. You guys are still going to play like you sucked a fart out of my ass like a hit from a water bong"

Punches and rioting may follow

Your Argument has been rendered Invalid

It is used when somebody says it can do something really improbable and weird to show that you have proved it. (See WTF)

Cat belt, you say? Your argument has been rendered invalid.
