The alternate spelling of the word 'argument' in British English, as with 'judgment' and 'judgement'.

straw man arguement

A locical fallacy in which the arguementative point is made into a caracature of it's original point. Extremely effective because it's not based on facts, but lies and assumptions. The burden of proof then lies in the defense, not the offense. Especially effective when the defense isn't allowed to offer objection. Popularized by right wing talk radio hosts Rush and Hannity.

Step one: Build the straw man. Ignore facts and make outlandish lies/slander. Redefine the facts. "liberals want to take your guns away and turn the U.S. over to the U.N."

Step 2: Knock down the straw man. "That flies in the face of everything we Americans believe in."

Step 3: Connect step 2 to step 1. "Only a communist would think of something like that."

Step 4: "Negate" your opponant by opposing the conclusion in step 3. "I hate those liberal communists. If they think us right-wingers will sit quietly while they destroy the country the're dead wrong."

Rush and Hannity can't argue the facts, so they have to make up the "evil liberal agenda" and then appear patriotic by opposing it.

argumen

Agument

It’s an argument but less aggressive. When you are arguing with someone just because you are bored and mean no harm.
Since “R” is an aggressive sounding letter you take it out and pouf the word isn’t as aggressive sounding.

Bob: “I had a big agument with my girl the other day.”
Marley: “what’s an agument?”
Bob: “we were just arguing because we were bored, but arguing sounds offensive so I call it an agument.”

Hot chocolate arguement

An argument that is silly and can't be resolved. Usually about symantics.

The genesis is an argument over whether hot chocolate is still hot chocolate if it's cold.

This is just a hot chocolate arguement
