Sensation by Association

The feeling one gets when an activity, smell, taste or sound is encountered and reminds one of a prior occurrence of exposure to the same experience.

I cannot read textbooks in bed anymore because every time I try to study in the library as a result of sensation by association.

After drinking way too much, if I smell Goldenschlager again, I get sensation by association and want to start throwing up.

A descriptor for straight people who have almost exclusively queer friends. This doesn't mean they are actually queer. It is a way friends satirize they are the straight minority in the group because it is the opposite of what occurs in society. Usually, queer people are minorities.

Sometimes used to describe straight allies.

**Doesn't mean they are gay. Satirical only.**

Synthetic Association Fallacy

The synthetic association fallacy is an association fallacy which asserts by irrelevant association that the synthesis or product of two seperate elements is always the exact same as the grouping of those two separate elements. (Correction of Fallacy: Although A is within B and is also within C, not all synthesises/products of B and C, are A)

Synthetic Association Fallacy: all apple-banana mixes are apple-banana juice.
Correction: Although apple-banana juice is within "Apple-contained items" and is also within "Banana-contained items", not all items containing both apples and bananas are apple-banana juice.
SA Fallacy: all market-oriented socialisms are market socialism.
Correction: Although market socialism is a type of socialism and is also market-oriented, not all market-oriented socialisms (socialist ideologies) are market socialist.
SA Fallacy: All conservative Christians are right-wing (of the Christian Right).
Correction: Although the Christian Right is a conservative moment and is also a Christian movement and almost all conservative Christians are right-wing, not all conservative Christian movements are of the Christian Right.

Correction: (for example, Christian Socialism is both conservative and supposedly Christian but obviously isn't of the Christian Right because it isn't capitalist)
