Combination of strawman and ad hominem. A form of logical fallacy in which one misrepresents one's opponent's argument as a premise that is not only not held by the opponent but so absurd that obviously no rational person would hold it.
"You Republicans only oppose abortion because you want to control women's bodies!"
"Straw hominem, we just don't think you should be allowed to commit murder for no reason."

Get the straw hominem mug.A mediocre form of argument meaning you revert to insults when you lose a debate. Commonly used by SJW's when they get offended by people who disagree with their views.
Sensible person: In my humble opinion, abortion is a legal form of murder one applies for their own selfish reasons. Their baby may have grown up to be the herobwho found a cure for cancer.
SJW: HOW DARE YOU SAY ABORTION IS A WRONG YOU CONSERVOCUCK!
Sensible person. Ad hominem attacks don't make an argument.
SJW: Continues to spout their incoherent attacks.

Get the Ad Hominem mug.Contrary to popular believe, ad hominem IS NOT an insult (even though both ad hominem and straight out insult are harrassment)
There's the fine line between ad hominem and insult:
Ad hominem: "you're stupid, therefore you're wrong" (rhetorical tactic to refute the argument)
Straight out insult: "That's so gay, nigga" (simply mean and out-of-context)

Get the Ad hominem mug.“Ad Hominem” means “to insult or to make insults”. Unfortunately, it seems like it’s being taken over and constantly used on the internet by neckbeards & retards who want to sound like they aren’t sperging out for once while deflecting any sort of hate they get for their bad actions.
Carly: Why is Godzilla VS Kong doing better than Terminator dark date? Dark dark fate deserves more because it has more wokeness in it, it’s probably all just men’s fault because they don’t care about being an ally!
Mack: Could you shut up? I’m trying to watch the move and your being annoying.
Carly: STOP THROWING AN AD HOMINEM AT ME, I DID NOTHING WRONG YOUR BEING MISOGYNISTIC AND HATEFUL!!!
Mack: All I was trying to do is just watch the movie, but your disrupting everything with your melt down over me saying your being annoying. Calm down, geez...

Get the In Vaginam Facit Hominem mug.A logical fallacy where someone claims that the argument or position of someone else is invalid not due to any faults in it but based off of faults, real or imagined, of the other person.
This argument does not make the claim it is used in valid, but also does not render it wholly invalid provided that valid arguments may be found in other parts of the claim.
This argument does not make the claim it is used in valid, but also does not render it wholly invalid provided that valid arguments may be found in other parts of the claim.
Examples of Argument ad Hominem:
1. Your presidential candidate has been shown to have been cheating on her wife, how the hell can you trust her to manage labor issues?
2. He's not a valid candidate, just look at how he dresses! If he can't mage his wardrobe, how's he going to manage a whole state?

Get the Argument ad Hominem mug.When one posts a definition that may be offensive to a specific audience based on nationality, race, gender etc., and then all the posting individual's definitions receive the same amount of dislikes.
Idiots who do Urban Dictionary ad hominem often times do not have sufficient imagination, vocabulary, or sense of humor to post a response.
