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

Classical argument

A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.

"We had a classical argument about the nature of free will in my philosophy class yesterday. It was super informative and really fun!"

Argument From Who Asked

If someone attempts to continue an argument after their argument has been disproven, with the same argument, they have committed the fallacy of who asked.

"I'm 22"

"You're birth certificate says you're 21."
"Yeah but I'm 22-"
"Argument from who asked. "

Felur Argument

When a person says something so dumb, you look your friend in the eyes and just see a piece of him die. Most of the times they're arguing more to prove you wrong then the opposite. The topics for said arguments are most of the times pretty stupid.

Felur: "Dude if the earth keeps getting warmer and warmer we'll evaporate due to global warming".

Kantor:" Bro it doesn't work like that, global warming won't evaporate us".

Felur:"But... but... it will.. because..".
Kantor:"Shut up, this is honestly such a you argument, literally a Felur Argument".
