Vegans Assumption Fallacy

A vegan must never assume that something is vegan unless and until it's confirmed to be vegan.

A vegan realised that he/she consumed a non-vegan product by failing to check the ingredients label, therefore falling prey to "Vegans Assumption Fallacy".

Snackwell Fallacy

Eating massive servings of foods which are low-fat, low-sodium or low-cholesterol under the mistaken impression that you are making a healthy choice. Instigated initially in the late 1990s with the Snackwell line of low-fat cookies.

I just ate an entire pallet of reduced sodium Lays potato chips. So you know, my diet is still unbroken.

You just got chumped by the Snackwell Fallacy, dumb ass.

fallacy

An untruth. An untrue statement. A wrong idea.

That which is fallacious.

The idea that the word "fallacy" has anything to do with sex is itself a fallacy.

Fallacy of the predetermined outcome

A phrase frequently used by Yankees announcer Michael Kay to refer to the flawed logic behind thinking that event x is set in stone and would have happened regardless of all events leading up to it.

Michael kay:” You don’t want to fall victim to the fallacy of the predetermined outcome, but you have to wonder how things are different if the umpire called that pitch a strike.”

no true douchebag fallacy

It is a logical fallacy that can be identified as when someone says something so absolutely ridiculous and stupid you just want to slap them with your dick because they seriously believe the shit they're saying.

My Roommate: Seriously, if Flash ran into space fast enough he would take all of the air with him.

Me: It really doesn't work that way.

My Roommate: You're fucking stupid, how the fuck did you even get into college?

Me: That is a textbook no true douchebag fallacy *dick slap to the face*
