Get the ball out till you fall out mug.A specific variant that casts the argument itself as the mindless, bouncing object being hit back and forth without agency or resolution. It portrays the points being made as inherently empty or trivial—just a "ball" in a silly game. This dehumanizes the debaters and trivializes their stakes, suggesting the topic is frivolous and the participants are just keeping it alive for sport.
Example: During a serious policy debate on healthcare, one side presents a cost analysis. The opponent replies, "We're not doing this. I'm not your ping-pong ball fallacy. I won't keep bouncing this same tired argument back and forth so you can feel like you're playing a game." This reframes a substantive exchange as a trivial volley, attempting to unilaterally declare the topic beneath consideration.

Get the Ping-pong Ball Fallacy mug.A town in Ontario, Canada.
Ball’s Falls, Ontario
In the early 19th century, brothers John and George Ball bought 1,200 acres of land in the Niagara Region. The land, which is now a Conservation Area, was presumably named at a time when puns and innuendo were less widespread. Ball’s Falls is now considered part of Jordan, Ontario, and features two waterfalls (the lower is 90 feet high), as well as historical domestic and industrial buildings, including the original Ball house.
