Pinocchio's argument

Someone who does not know how to use the term strongman argument right when a straw man argument is supposed to be someone pretending to answer with facts but really not answering the question at all
Example a Pinocchio's argument is where one who is listing facts gets told by the other person that's a straw man argument even though facts were presented and a straw man argument cannot exist when there's facts presented because I true straw man argument is it's bad because it's bad with no facts given. However someone using the Pinocchio's argument is just ignoring the facts and pretending there is a straw man argument when it doesn't fit the criteria for a straw man argument. In other words the pretending and lying and misusing it just to win an argument because in their eyes it's not about whether the right or wrong it's just whether they win. Hence the Pinocchio's argument

Shut-down Argument

A rebuttal used in a debate or argument purely for the intent to overly simplify their opponent's point, even purposefully misinterpreting it.
An example being if A is critical of the president then B can say "you only believe that because your candidate lost the election." The statement can either be true or false, but it's use is to end A's argument. The rebuttal does not actually do anything for the purpose of debate.
"I can't handle talking to fans of the Star Wars sequels. Anytime I say I didn't like it they use the shut-down argument 'you only hate it because what you predicted was wrong.'"

Argumentative

Being ready and enthusiastic to argue about anything, especially dull bullshit.
The bubbly girl wanted to make everyone as argumentative as her, so she divided them into people that thought the new sandwich taco was a sandwich and people that thought it was a taco so that they would shoot each other in arguments over whether it was a sandwich or a taco.
