Get the Make an argument out of it / Mach doch Mal ein Argument draus mug.A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.
"We had a classical argument about the nature of free will in my philosophy class yesterday. It was super informative and really fun!"

The Energy Argument Against Abortion is as follows: Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle dictates that mass is fundamentally a form of energy. Thus, the law of conservation of energy dictates that the energy in the form of matter with mass taken in by a living system that is converted into free energy cannot be greater than the free energy utilized by the living system to carry out that CONVERSION of matter into free energy that can be utilized by the living system which mathematically means that NO NET ENERGY is added to a living system despite intake of matter with mass. Thus, as dictated by the second law of thermodynamics, the total energy of the human zygote/human fetus as a living system CANNOT increase after the moment of conception and must CONTINUALLY DECREASE since the total free energy of the human being living system progressively DECREASES as the total entropy of the human being living system progressively INCREASES since NO NET ENERGY is added to the human being living system despite intake of matter with mass into the human being living system. Thus, the human zygote/human fetus has the HIGHEST TOTAL ENERGY as a living system out of all forms of the human being including born human beings making the murderous act of abortion WRONG and IMMORAL under any circumstance!
Example: "Hey bro, I just used The Energy Argument Against Abortion in order to COMPLETELY DEBUNK every single pro-abortion apologist and it was completely FANTASTIC!"

Get the Argument Sandwich mug.A “tall boots” argument is the use of the propaganda technique of Intentional Vagueness combined with “allusory correlation” to passively insinuate causation between a correlation without directly saying it. The employer of this annoying method of bullshittery, while never explicitly stating the idea itself, instead leads someone to believe they came to their own conclusions based on their insinuations by suggesting it to them, and not explaining further.
The term comes from the tall boots that nazi’s wore - or more specifically, pointing out that nazi’s wore tall boots TO someone wearing tall boots with the phrase “I’m not saying you’re a nazi, but…” while clearly insinuating a connection to someone wearing tall boots, and nazis. The argument is illogical, but this technique is effective because it leads people into trying to figure out what the argument *is* rather than examining the argument itself, no matter how stupid it is.
You will know when that annoying friend of yours is using this technique in two steps:
1. The start with the phrase “I’m not saying *insert subject of connection*, but…” before trailing off
2. You tell them that that’s stupid, which prompts only a shrug, rather than any extrapolation

Get the “Tall Boots” Argument mug.A squabble whereby you require your opponent to give you a blowjob at da same time as he/she is presenting his side of da dispute.
One of da main advantages of an oral argument is dat you don't even hafta listen to your opponent's whiny monologue because he/she unavoidably has his/her mouth --- shall we say --- "otherwise occupied" at da time. What you can then do is to eventually suggest dat said grumbler engage in "regular" sex wif you in order to both satisfy your "pleasure me while telling me your side of da disagreement" stipulation and free up his/her mouth to do da yacking. Naturally he/she may not wish to do so, and thus he/she may just allow you to win said dispute without further debate, since said concession may seem less offensive/upsetting/humiliating than submitting his/her pelvis to you.
