Industrial Debutante

No Shi-Shi-Foo-Foo coming out parties for these girls. Big Hair, a tad too much makeup and maybe a bit rough around the edges, industrial debs (plural) can still be found in most major metropolitan areas. They just try a little harder than their competitors, the “well-heeled” debutant variety.
Wow, look at that, an entire table full of industrial debutantes, are we back in the 1980s?

Google Debunker

A term coined by TikTok creator Filip Zieba, who often covers conspiracy theories and pseudoarchaeology. It is used (by Filip himself) to shame and/or dissuade skeptics of Filip's content by calling them "google debunkers" and implying that a Google search that would disprove his misinformation is itself the misinformation.
"The Google Debunkers out there will claim that this is 'giant sloth' skeleton is real, but come on, it's obviously a primordial giant human."

shannon debussy

An alter ego of popular youtuber Duncanyounot (aka Duncan Joseph) (aka Duncan). It originates from a video "I Prank Called SCAMMERS" where Duncan is calling a scammer, and the scammer asks for his name. The goal is to obviously prank the scammer, so Duncan responds by saying "Shannon Debussy". The scammer then asks how the last name is spelt, and Duncan says "J-O-J-O-S-I-W-A". This clip of the video went viral, and is still popular to this day (2026).
Person 1: Do you watch Duncanyounot? Person 2: Who's that? I've only ever heard of Shannon Debussy. Person 1: How do you spell that? Person 2: J-O-J-O-S-I-W-A. *laughter*

A form of debunking where the debunking itself relies on assumptions that have been debunked by the very claims being debunked, creating a circular structure. The debunker assumes the falsehood of what they're debunking, uses that assumption to generate debunking arguments, then presents those arguments as proof of falsehood. The circle is invisible to the debunker because their starting assumptions feel like common sense, not like assumptions. Circular Debunking doesn't engage the actual claim—it just performs skepticism within a closed loop that already assumes what it's trying to prove.
Circular Debunking - Debunking in Circles "He debunked spiritual experiences by saying 'they're just brain activity.' But that assumes materialism, which is exactly what spiritual experiences challenge. That's Circular Debunking—using the framework being questioned as the standard for questioning it. The circle is invisible to him because his framework feels like reality. But circular reasoning doesn't become linear just because you're confident."

coffee mug debugging

Just like the term Rubber duck debugging, which is in software engineering, a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different inanimate objects.

The "coffee mug debugging" is the same method of debugging code with which developers force themselves to read and explain their code line-by-line, to the coffee mug. There are developers who calls this planted plot debugging as well. But "coffee mug debugging" seems more convenient at this century since it's easy to find a coffee mug for a developer than a "rubber duck" or "planted plot".

alert oriented debugging

My browser doesn't have a JavaScript debugger so I have to resort to alert oriented debugging.
