Semantics 

A type of lice that affects your pubic area. They burrow into your urethra and make their way to the testicles (hence the term "semantics", a portmanteau of "semen" and "ticks"). They find their way in by tracking the scent of semen, therefore they exclusively affect biological males with working reproductive organs. They can make their way in other sexual genitals if they detect the scent but the unfamiliar environment that is not condusive to their survival will likely kill them. They can spread through shared seating areas and undergarments.

"Bro. Chelsea asked me to sit on her face last night and now I have semantics."

Semantics Warrior 

An annoying, ultra-PC individual who likes to correct others if they use identity-first language instead of person-first language.

Commonly found in discussion forums on social media.

Person A: "I am Autistic."
Person B: "Ermergerd, no you're not!!! You HAVE autism!!"
Person A: "Do YOU have Autism?"
Person B: "No."
Person A: "Then respectfully fuck off about how I self-identify."
Fucking semantics warriors..

arguing semantics 

When people argue about the definition or meaning of a word. This usually starts in the middle of an argument and distracts from the main topic of the argument. Whether done intentionally or not depends on the people arguing.

When an argument deteriorates and its focus becomes one about word definitions rather than the main topic, a person will usually say "Oh, now we're just arguing semantics". Usually by this point, the arguement has become a waste of time because it has morphed into a bunch of bickering about irrelevant, unimportant details rather than the original main point.

If someone accuses you of arguing semantics, they're usually accusing you of intentionally avoiding the topic. In this case, the person may or may not be misusing the phrase in order to do so. If you're not actually arguing about word definitions, then they should accuse you of being nit-picky instead (as that would be more accurate) but to explain it to this degree becomes a bit nit-picky in and of itself and so for obvious reasons, this is the end.

Jenny: Hey Tommy, did you do your homework?
Tommy: I would never do my homework.
Jenny: What do you mean? You always do your homework!
Tommy: No, I would never "do" my homework - that would be gross. But if you want to know if I completed my homework...
Jenny: Oh, please. Spare me. Now you're just arguing semantics.

Bitch Semantics 

When Sean feels like being a little bitch and argues the meaning of "never mind".

This condition is usually related to having sand in his vagina. Since he can't get it out he gets a little perturbed and all bitchy.

arguing semantics 

A phrase commonly used as a rebuttal in arguments, with two common meanings:

1) The person using the phrase has been subjected to a statement or argument that they don't like, but can't argue against; or

2) The person using the phrase doesn't understand the argument, or objects to or doesn't understand the use of polysyllabic words.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west? Now your just arguing semantics."

empty semantics 

An insult derived from an irrelevant but pithy-sounding technical term. Combining the perjorative and jargon terms feigns a deep, smart reason for refusing to shed ignorance.

James felt fearful and unaccustomed to using his own mind and habitually ceased his thinking at the perimeter of his peer group's established belief system. When someone posted an article with ideas threatening its gossamer bonds, his instinct for conservation drove him to cry, "Empty semantics!"
