When you make a comparison between two things and the person you're tries to argue that you're trying to claim that there is a moral equivalence between one of the things you're talking about and the comparison.
Iam "Fallacy of moral equivalence is such a lazy argument. I'm not saying that you are like Jesus and you're fans are like lepers. What I'm saying is this: Sometimes, in life, we can't always be for people what they want (or even need) us to be. And I see that it pains you a great deal. And that's ok. And I can relate to that. Not because I'm like Jesus..."
Hym "But because I'm better than Jesus. Like, 2 maybe 3 times better. At least. I'm obviously not a filthy leper. If that were the comparison I were making than I would OBVIOUSLY be God because I'm the one watching the thing happened. But then I would be a filthy abomination..."
Iam "I wasn't fin..."
Hym "You were finished. I doubt you even had a point."
Iam "I was going to say that I understand the feeling and that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I think back on my life and can see that if I changed maybe 3 things everything would be so radically different that I wouldn't even be the same entity. So, if the present is the future's past, you don't really have to do all that much. Just 3 things."
Hym "That's the problem with the rest of these morons. They're trying to do too much. And they're obnoxious. And they don't give me enough of their things. Everyone needs to give me their things. I need them more than they do."

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.
Also related to non sequitur.

1) Jim called out his boss by using logical fallacies to poke holes in his ridiculous decisions.
2) Tommy used logical fallacies to his advantage in order to expose the inconsistencies in his girlfriend's reasoning with regards to how he should spend his money.

The Ad Nobilis Fallacy is when a retard tries to say something but he/she is dismissed because they're retarded.
John: "Your idea is not good."
Jacob: Stop, you just committed a Ad Nobilis Fallacy"
John: "What is that.."
Jacob: "Look it up, and when you come back I'll be waiting."

The letterman's fallacy is a scenario in which you are asked a basic question and extrapolate your answer in order to gain a better understanding of the question and this in turn is then used against you to gaslight you into a malformed position that you do not necessarily stand for.
The name letterman comes from the fact that it sounds fancy to say.

Person 2: "Would I have the brain of a goat or a human?"

Person 2: "So you're going to gaslight and letterman's fallacy me wowza"

When two people are dating only because -
- Their friends hooked them up
- One, or both, owes it to the other
- Are fuck buddies that don't want to be labeled such
- One, or both, is using it as an excuse to not be single
- The two actually deserves one another
Even though the causes for a Fallacy Relationship vary, it can always be characterized by one, or both, of its members heavily neglecting the relationship till need arises.

-"Why didn't your girlfriend to come?"
+"Sorry, I forgot to invite her."

+"Oh no, we're just a fallacy relationship."
