Sam Fallacy

The uncontrollable urge to assume that wanting to sleep with your friends' moms is just something everyone does. It's less about logic and more about projecting your own instincts onto the world.

Logical fallacies

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.

Also related to non sequitur.
1) Jim called out his boss by using logical fallacies to poke holes in his ridiculous decisions.
2) Tommy used logical fallacies to his advantage in order to expose the inconsistencies in his girlfriend's reasoning with regards to how he should spend his money.

Toyu Fallacy

An opponent predicts exactly what you would say, but refuses to, or can't explain why you are wrong. This is an anti argument because the opponent isn't making a point nor debunking yours.
Joseph Joestar knew DIO would say "kono dio da", however, that does not change the fact that DIO can rock his shit.

During a debate about the wage gap, a leftist says to a right wingerin retaliation to an argument they made: haha why did I somehow know that you would say that "the study only compares two checks between a man and a woman. It does not not take the other factors into account, such as hours worked, efficiency of the product, etc". That means that you're wrong because I knew you would say that. They used the Toyu Fallacy

Quizmaster Fallacy

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:

A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850

You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.
"How did you know that was the right answer?"

"It didn't follow the pattern of the other answers, why else would the Quizmaster have put it there? It's the Quizmaster Fallacy in action!"

Zeno's Paradox Fallacy

The futile use of verbosity or technical blather in an attempt to ascribe logic to a fallacious argument.
No matter how much technical detail you can use to explain the genetic relationship between you and that chick you kissed, I know she's your sister, and I'm not listening to your Zeno's Paradox Fallacy nonsense.
