A twisted, convoluted argument that sounds reasonable on the surface but makes absolutely no sense when examined closely. Often used by manipulative people to avoid accountability or dismiss someone else's valid feelings.
Etymology: Derived from the way actual pretzels are twisted into impossible shapes - much like how some people twist basic logic until it's completely unrecognizable.
Common characteristics:
Uses fancy words to sound smart
Contains circular reasoning
Makes the listener question their own sanity
Usually delivered with complete confidence
Falls apart immediately under scrutiny

"My ex gave me a total logic pretzel when he said he couldn't validate my feelings because they contradicted his feelings. Like, sir, that's not how emotions work."
Example in a sentence: "Don't let him feed you that logic pretzel - two people can have different opinions about the same event and both be valid!"
