oral argument

A squabble whereby you require your opponent to give you a blowjob at da same time as he/she is presenting his side of da dispute.

One of da main advantages of an oral argument is dat you don't even hafta listen to your opponent's whiny monologue because he/she unavoidably has his/her mouth --- shall we say --- "otherwise occupied" at da time. What you can then do is to eventually suggest dat said grumbler engage in "regular" sex wif you in order to both satisfy your "pleasure me while telling me your side of da disagreement" stipulation and free up his/her mouth to do da yacking. Naturally he/she may not wish to do so, and thus he/she may just allow you to win said dispute without further debate, since said concession may seem less offensive/upsetting/humiliating than submitting his/her pelvis to you.

Cosmological argument

The cosmological argument is the notion that God created the universe and that there is always a cause and an effect. The three main parts to the cosmological argument is the uncaused cause, unmoved mover and possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency. There are 5 ways in Aquinas's version of the cosmological argument, however I'm only discussing the 3 that I stated as they are the main parts of the argument as urban dictionary only let's me type a limited quantity of characters.

Uncaused cause (4 premises and a conclusion)
• Everything has a cause
•Every cause has a cause
• This cannot go back forever
•Therefore there must be an uncaused cause which doesn't have a cause.
•The uncaused cause is what we understand as God

Unmoved mover (2 premises and a conclusion)

•Everything that has been moved by something and that mover has been moved by something else.

•This chain cannot go back forever or movement would not have started in the first place.

•Therefore there must be an unmoved mover which isn't itself moved. This unmoved mover must be God

Possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency:

This one is simple. A contingent being is a being which needs a cause and a necessary being is the opposite meaning a being doesn't need a cause. It is believed that God is the necessary being who created the world.

Now that you know the fundamentals of the cosmological argument, read up the teleological argument (the argument from design)

Shadow Argument

Making up a scenario in your head that makes you mad then complaining about it to others like it actually happened almost like shadow boxing but for neckbeards

"Yeah I understand the appeal of shows like Naruto and one piece, but the fanbases compare their show to shows like berserk as if they're close." (has never seen anyone do that therefore, shadow argument)

nice argument

"nice argument. unfortunately, fill in the blank"

if you're in the middle of a disagreement online, sending a message in this format will immediately ruin the recipient's argument, and most likely their life. use only as a last resort. examples below

nice argument. unfortunately, 192.168.1.45
nice argument. unfortunately, your mother is obese
nice argument. unfortunately, I have a grenade launcher
nice argument. unfortunately, you probably eat at Burger King for lunch every day

Classical argument

A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.

"We had a classical argument about the nature of free will in my philosophy class yesterday. It was super informative and really fun!"

Waffle Argument

When a sentence is completely twisted or invented during an argument.
Essentially putting words in someone elses 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."
