Intellectual brazilian

metaphorically describes the process of dismantling someone's argument in a debate by addressing each flaw systematically, akin to the painful but meticulous process of a Brazilian wax. It aims to critique a person's position while allowing them to retain some dignity. It's a vivid analogy emphasising the thoroughness of the rebuttal

intellectual origami

Like word salad but the words coming out of the person speaking actually sound intelligent and enable the speaker to come across as intellectual. Intellectual origami involves sounding intellectual for the sake of sounding intellectual. The speaker will use high profile and scientific sounding words. Think of origami like an intricately folded collection of sharp edges which look impressive, but have much less weight than you’d think.
