Lets get this Verbal Reasoning
This phrase was popularised in mid-2019 in Australia and is a reference to both the Australia-wide UCAT exam and a global-FPS game.
Verbal Reasoning is a section inside the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) which is abbreviated as (VR).
VR is also an acronym for a term in the popular online MMO-FPS 'Fortnite' which means 'Victory Royale'.
Hence "Lets get this Verbal Reasoning" is used as a sort of cathartic relief and a battle cry for strong grinders to gee themselves up.

Argumentum ad Verbum
A fallacy where the focus shifts to the words used in an argument rather than the argument's content. "You are trivializing the word X" becomes a way of dismissing claims without engaging them. The move criticizes word choice, terminology, or phrasing—often legitimately, but fallaciously when the word critique substitutes for content engagement. Words matter, but when "you're using the wrong term" becomes the whole response, the substance gets lost. Argumentum ad Verbum is particularly common in online debates where semantic nitpicking replaces substantive discussion.
"I described an experience as 'traumatic.' Response: 'You're trivializing real trauma by using that word casually.' That's Argumentum ad Verbum—focusing on my word choice, not my experience. Maybe the word was imperfect; maybe not. Either way, my point about what I experienced remains unaddressed. Words matter, but using them as a shield against engagement is fallacy."
