The Christmas Fallacy

Your boss's belief that, no matter how much work there is to be done, it will all be finished before the Christmas holidays so "we can start next year with a clean slate." See also "work smarter not harder."

"This is a joke. We'll never get it done before Christmas."

"Yeah, I know. The Christmas Fallacy. Fancy a beer?"

Sanity's Fall

A fictional band referenced in the game "Sally Face". Larry Johnson, a deuteragonist of the franchise, makes a joke about the main characters nickname; Sally Face.

There is also a real-world Sanity's Fall, but they have no connection to the Sally Face franchise whatsoever.

Random Lines from the Game

Sally: I'm Sal. My friends call me Sally Face. I just moved here with my dad, from New Jersey.

Larry: Sally Face?

Sally: I guess I didn't really have any decent friends, to be honest. So once they started calling me that, I figured if I owned the name, then the assholes couldn't use it against me.

Sally: I like your shirt.
Larry: Thanks. It stands for... Sally Face. Heh.
Sally: I do have my own clothing line, so.
Larry: Haha. It's actually for this metal band called Sanity's Fall. Do you like metal?

Fourth Wall Fall Wave

When a cartoon character realizes they are about to fall a great distance. But before they begin to fall, they look directly at the screen and wave goodbye to the viewer(s).

Letterman's Fallacy

The letterman's fallacy is a scenario in which you are asked a basic question and extrapolate your answer in order to gain a better understanding of the question and this in turn is then used against you to gaslight you into a malformed position that you do not necessarily stand for.

The name letterman comes from the fact that it sounds fancy to say.

Person 1: "If you were a goat would you fuck a goat?"
Person 2: "Would I have the brain of a goat or a human?"
Person 1: "Ah so your a goat-fucker"
Person 2: "So you're going to gaslight and letterman's fallacy me wowza"
