false irony

When someone tries to pretend they were being ironic, but they meant exactly what they were saying. Often a tactic of bullies and fascists who claim they were just making jokes and having fun, but the intent has nothing to do with having fun.

It's false irony when Matt Walsh's Twitter calls himself a "Theocratic fascist", and pretends he's just being ironic, but then actually promotes fascism.

Implicit false dichotomy

We're seeing a lot of that recently in the discourse around "Victimhood"

Hym "And how it works is basically like this: So-and-so will sarcastically say 'Well this person is clearly a victim.' And what they are insinuating is that the person is 'acting as though they are a victim even though they are are not.' This creates the implicit false dichotomy between 'People who act like victims' and 'People who don't.' The former are 'The bad ones' and the latter are 'The good ones.' Sound familiar? It's the 'good one/bad one frame.' I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT BEFORE! REMEMBER!? It's a framing tool they like to use! See it!? And that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything."

False Sober

Person 1: “ Last night reminded me that puking actually feels really good when your drunk.”
Person 2: “Nah dude, remember, you said it felt like death. I think you’re having a False Sober.”

False Alignment

To leave a big gap in front of your car so that you're right next to the car in the lane next to you. Typically, it's a technique used to admire another car, its occupants or both.

"I pulled a false alignment so I could check out the hottie in the convertible."

False shark

One way you know people that say that they are sharks are not sharks is sharks don't try to run off other animals. Sharks can also swim without the use of tanks and scuba diving apparatus, that's another way you know that people aren't like sharks, even if they claim to be.

He/she must have been in a silly mood when he/she claimed to be a shark, but nobody thought he/she wasn't a false shark when he/she made the claim.
