When used in an argument, a person takes various scraps of talking points and tosses them together into a bowl, then tries to pass the word salad as a cogent argument.
In discussing the Boston Bombings and the Republican Congressmen who should understand the Constitution as pertains to the rights of American citizens, a commenter referred to the president as "Obummer" and said that the article about Republican Congressmen should have been entitled "Obama doesn't understand the Constitution" because the borders are not secure and Mexican drug cartels get guns. The comment has nothing to do with the article and can be dismissed as argumentum ad saladbar.

Get the Argyris mug.How an idiot argues with another person. Instead of using rational statements and facts, they spam the other person with mindless banter and stubborn ranting.
Rational Argument:
Person 1: I think that the Xbox 360 is better than the Wii because it has better hardware and more graphical power.
Person 2: Well I think the Wii is better than the 360 because it is more interactive and appeals more to casual gamers.
Idiot Argument:
Person 1: Well, I think the Wii is better than the Xbox 360 because...

My friend Melvin won't stop buying Funko Pops - he says his collection won't sell for anything unless he has a complete set. I guess he's never heard of the coal miner's argument.
