Supreme Court

A compound verb where an argument being made is made with minimal effort and then masked with clever sounding words.

In the April 2025 Supreme Court ruling For Women Scotland vs The Scottish ministers the ruling used the phrase "These are assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation", which is a variation on the "this is left as an exercise for the reader" and "It is self-evident that...", both forms of "Proof by Intimidation" used by junk science
- I can't be bothered explaining, I'll just Supreme Court it and hope they don't challenge me.
- "Did you just Supreme Court this and hope nobody would notice?"
- "Well, honestly... it's clearly self-evident?"
