logical positivism

Something really stupid and anoying they make you learn in Communication Studies graduate programs even though you're a rhetorician and couldn't really give a rat's ass.

Logical positivism asserts that only statements about empirical observations are meaningful, effectively asserting that all metaphysical statements are meaningless. Unfortunately, this fundamental tenet of logical positivism belongs to the family of statements that it asserts to be meaningless. As a result, the entire edifice of logical positivism vanishes in a puff of logic. This insight appears not to have occurred to the logical positivist school of philosophers.

Finn logic

Something that in itself nearly makes sense, but is somehow explained or applied in an idiotic way.

"He meant well, but he didn't get what was stupid about his idea." "Sounds like Finn logic."

logic grenade

A statement of fact, usually in the form of an e-mail, that renders all hostile (emailers) silent

Employee #1: I had been getting calls and e-mails all morning about the Widget Project. Managers want status, test group wants results.
Employee #2: What changed? Why did they stop?
Employee #1: I silenced them all when I explained to them the Widget Project was, in fact, not my project (according to my manager) and they need to direct their efforts towards <Employee X>
Employee #2: Sounds like you lobbed them a logic grenade

Tom Logic

Something so incredibly dumb and lazy that it's almost brilliant!

Tom Logic: "I just wrapped my bowl in foil before using it so I don't have to wash it up"

Alcoholic's Logic

Type of logic an Alcoholic has, whether they are in recovery or not. This logic may not make sense to anyone who isn't an alcoholic.

Alcoholic: When you fix that kitchen cabinet to the wall to house the double oven, for extra peace of mind I'd like you to screw in two brackets, fixed to the wall behind the cabinet, under the shelf the oven will sit on.
Non alcoholic: Here we go, alcoholic's logic again!

Sod's Logic

The use of Sod's Law to one's own advantage.

Used Sod's Logic today. Really didn't want it to rain on my picnic today, so I brought an umbrella with me.
OR
I really want this person I fancy at work to talk to me. Today I didn't wash, do my hair or wear clean clothes and I'm hungover. 99% guaranteed today's the day they start speaking to me.

PORN LOGIC

When your attracted to the sexy person of the opposite sex that you may or may not even know, no matter what the situation is. It's always going to lead to sex and not just any sex but the hottest wildest best sex ever.

I know you are kind of a stranger to me, but I can't help my porn logic telling me this would be a much better experience if you just take off all your clothes and lets take advantage of this opportunity.
