ultimum verbum

The ultimum verbum fallacy is common among internet users who frequent message boards but is also commonly used throughout non-internet life. This fallacy, as it Latin name denotes, is simply the fallacy of having the last word. Most internet users who are keen on ruthlessly promoting their ideas will continue to post arguments or rebuttals in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Internet users who have strong opinions feel the need to have the last post as mark of external validation of their worldview. A key component of ultimum verbum fallacies on the internet is the a priori, metaphysical distinction between ITT and IRL: as if the events of ITT were not occurring in IRL. Another example of this fallacy is common in marriage. The husband, shackled down by the promise of sex, must obey his wife's commands no matter how unreasonable they may be. When she says "Honey, you can't have beer with your friends at the bar tonight!", the husband may chose to ignore that dictate but only to his peril. So in this case the wife presents an ultimum verbum case which any sharp husband would recognize as such but would not dare contest if he cares about getting laid on a somewhat regular basis.

Wife:"Honey, you can't have beer with your friends at the bar tonight!"
Husband:(under his breath) "Argumentum ultimum verbum."
Wife: "What did you say honey?"
Husband: "I said `Yes, dear!'"

"Well, I see your argument as illogical!"
"But all that I was arguing was that p implies q; r implies s. And if p or r is given, then q v s is given."
"Well I or no one else think in those terms in real life."
"Argumentum ultimum verbum."
"Well I don't see how invoking Latin like, the ancients invoked deities to support their causes, supports your case."

Ultibatum

The ultimatum that one gives themself when they decide that if they are not asleep by a certain time, they will masturbate to aide them in falling asleep.

I couldn't fall asleep last night so I gave myself an ultibatum for 3:00 A.M.

I swear I'm an insomniac, I gave myself three ultibatums last night but still couldn't fall asleep.

ultimatum

Ultimatum is a game played when a person is given a choice of multiple scenarios he/she would rather have happen, usually consisting of one painful option, one option involving a homosexual act, and one involving harm to a family member. The game is initiated by shouting "ULTIMATUM!!!" followed by describing the three scenarios from which the subject has to choose. Make sure that the person chosen to receive this "ultimatum" to will take it very seriously and will be highly offended by being forced to choose as this will add comedic affect to the selection. By following the traditional rules of giving a painful scenario, a gay one, and one involving harm to a family member, you are setting up the subject to choose the gay option. When he/she does so, it is appropriate to shout at them and say " YOU ALWAYS PICK THE GAY ONES!". This will lead to a very depressed reaction from the victim of your ultimatum, providing entertainment to the rest of the sadistic group that beats up on this poor kid.

Bill: "Hey Tony, ULTIMATUM!!!!, would you rather smash your testicles with a jackhammer, have anal with your mailman, or kill your brother"

Tony: "O Cmon guys this is gay im not answerin this"

Bill: "Answer it or you're doin both!"

Tony: "Fine, the second one"

Bill: "YOU ALWAYS PICK THE GAY ONES!!!"
