Argument memes

Pretty self-explanatory
to use memes in arguments or to use memes to visualize your point (making it easier to understand in the form of a meme) OR to put some irony into your argument

Proxy Argument

Having an argument through a messenger.
So Sarah could say something to Steve than Steve says that to Iron Man than Iron Man gives a response to Steve, who then relays that to Sarah. Repeat to infinity.
After Iron Man killed Steve's dog, they got in a proxy argument through Sarah.

Argumenting

Similiar to the word arguing but not interchangable, it's used to denote civil and intellectual discussions between people.
As civilized intellectual minds of society, we were argumenting, NOT arguing!

Waffle Argument

When a sentence is completely twisted or invented during an argument.
Essentially putting words in someone's mouth to make them look bad or make yourself look better.
Person A: "I love pancakes!"

Person B: "So you hate waffles?!"

Person A: "No, stop using waffle arguments. That is a completely different sentence from what I said."

The Chard Argument

The logic whereby nothing you do is ever good or pure enough.

Named after the core example where someone can be on a diet and no matter how effective it is, there's always someone who will criticize some dietary choice you made, the logical conclusion being that the only way to prevent this from happening would be if all you ever ate was chard.

Happening more and more in left-leaning circles where people frequently criticize other people for not being "woke enough".
"I lost 50 pounds in 3 months!"

"oh but if you'd have cut rice out of your diet, it would be so much healthier."

"yeah, thanks for throwing the chard argument at me"

Close your legs arguments

Typically misogynistic arguments used to push the onus on the one in question to deny them rights . Used to commonly conflate responsibility with rights provided serving as a red herring .
You shouldn't appeal to close your legs arguments such as telling a man to get a vasectomy or practice abstinence if he doesnt want to pay child support as if the right to decline child support has any bearing on whether he's responsible or not .
