Reductio ad Obamaum

When a conservative or tea-bagger uses these labels or name calling: Marxist, socialist, communist in a discussion, attempting to discredit or one-up the dialog.

(Note: The mannerism stems from the culture of parroting conservative entertainers: Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.)

John, "What have conservatives done to create, allow, or support affordable health care for ALL Americans?"

Bubba, "We don't need your socialist marxism!"

John, "Why do you think civil society is socialist?"

Bubba, "Big government = communism"

The mannerism is part of the hatred for Obama, hence the term: "Reductio ad Obamaum"

penile reduction

The surprisingly uncommon surgical procedure by which flaps of skin and chunks of flesh are removed from a massive penis, thereby reducing the length and width of the said appendage.

"Diane and I used to have a hell of a time lubing up with KY before making love, but since my penile reduction...well, it's more like throwing a hot dog down a hallway."

Class Reductionism

Class reductionism is the epithet cast by cafe liberals on actual revolutionaries who understand that class struggle must be the foremost revolutionary struggle. Typically used by Twitterati and (insert identity politics faction here) Studies majors.

Pat reconsidered their accusations of class reductionism when the armed cis males freed them from their life of drudgery in some cubicle farm serving capital.

Bass reduction surgery

A play on words of breast reduction surgery, a term used when you set the E.Q on your ipod (or any music player) to reduced bass. Considered pussyish as bass only supplies a light pulse with the music, most people would prefer bass boost, because the stock ipod headphones sound crap despite that most people have them intend of a proper pair, like Sennheiser or Bose, or anything else. Although bass reduction surgery is acceptable if the user has a very bassy pair of head phones, like skull crushers or beats.

Tom: Ah, shit, the base is hurting my ears, im gonna set the E.Q to bass reduction.

Me: I don't see why you need bass reduction surgery your only using your shitastic stock ipod headphones that came with your ipod, they don't have any bass anyway, pussy.

reductive fallacy

One of the basic logical fallacies is the reductive fallacy, or in Latin, 'reductum ad absurdum'. Basically means taking a normal argument to such a far extreme (reducing it in an absurd manner) as an attempt to try to say it is wrong.

Note this is a logical fallacy. Just because one can think of some far out case.

Look man, if I give you $5 today then I'll have to give you $5 tomorrow, and then I'll be out $5 a day for the rest of my life.
