An inside joke, starting on the JREF forums (www.randi.org/vbulletin). Started when a troll declared himself the winner in a thread when his reply wasn't answered by the end of the day.

Camilla was away for the weekend, competing in the Horse of the Year show, so Charles asked his butler to nip out to the newsagents and pick up a weapon of mass debation.

A trivial argument based in little more than the semantics or language used to formulate the argument.
NOTE: Despite the simple nature of said argument, the debate can often grow so passionate that everyone not involved leaves the room to go watch the movie somewhere else.

Come on guys, this is just turning into a Master-And-Commander Debate.
Take your Master-And-Commander Debate somewhere else!
Here they go again with a Master-And-Commander Debate...
EXAMPLE OF A MASTER-AND-COMMANDER DEBATE:
A- "Can you imagine being him? They just cut the rope and left him out to sea. Would you just cling to the mast for dear life? I mean, wouldn't you just let go of it and swim as fast as you could towards the ship?"
B- "Haha, no. I would swim after it."
A- "You mean, 'YES, I would swim after it.'"
B- "No... I mean 'NO, I would swim after it.' As in 'No, I wouldn't just cling to the mast.'"
A- "But that's not the question I asked. I..."
(Argument goes on for 15 minutes, everyone leaves)
C- "So who did you guys decide was right?"
A- "We agreed to disagree."
B- "No we didn't."
A- "We didn't? What, did we conclude I was right?"
B- "Well I assumed that's the only way we would end it."
A- "No. We just eventually dropped it. Thus, we agreed to disagree."
B- "Dropping something doesn't necessarily mean 'Agree to disagree.'"
A- "Yes it does!"
B- "No..."
(Argument goes on for 15 minutes, everyone leaves)

1. The type of debate that is similar to policy debate, except that it is based on the debater's ability to think creatively and logically, rather than their ability to spew random facts at a rate that makes them sound to everybody except for other debaters like someone who is either vomiting out syllables or is demon-possessed. Generally accepted as the best kind of debate, as it allows the most room for crazy mind-grenade generating arguments. Lincoln douglas debaters are generally acknowledged to be twice as good as either pofo or policy debaters, because it takes two of the other types of debaters to make a team, but only one lincoln douglas debater.
"hey, does that guy do lincoln-douglas debate?"
"yeah, he's like one of the awesomest people ever. He gets tons of females, he's super cool, and he speaks at normal speeds"
