The Chard Argument

The logic whereby nothing you do is ever good or pure enough.

Named after the core example where someone can be on a diet and no matter how effective it is, there's always someone who will criticize some dietary choice you made, the logical conclusion being that the only way to prevent this from happening would be if all you ever ate was chard.

Happening more and more in left-leaning circles where people frequently criticize other people for not being "woke enough".

"I lost 50 pounds in 3 months!"

"oh but if you'd have cut rice out of your diet, it would be so much healthier."

"yeah, thanks for throwing the chard argument at me"

The David Argument

"The David Argument" is a form of argument that is made when you have no actual comeback or good argument, often used by people that has poor debating skills and usually ends up in the losing side of a debate. This type of argument often starts off with "says the guy that..." and follows up with a personal attack against the other person (sometimes against the other persons family members or relatives) with no correlation to the subject being discussed whatsoever. This form of argument is said to be originated from a individual that was called "David" hence the name "The David Argument".

"Why are you using "The David Argument", cant you come up with better arguments?"

" Oh you're using "The David Argument" now, shows how poor your debating skills are"
"Only weird people with no intellect uses "The David Argument"

argumentative compliment

When someone you have strong feelings for does not understand how truly amazing they are!

You literally do NOT understand how amazing you are. An argumentative compliment is when someone tries to tell you that you are amazing when really they are the amazing one.
