Argument

Then, how did he celebrate Christmas Michael?

Hym "That's called 'No True Scottsman Fallacy' Michael. What you were going to say in response to that question. 'No True Scottsman Fallacy' Mike. That's also not an argument. So, he doesn't believe in Christ... And he celebrated Christmas any... So it isn't an option... It's a demonstrably True statement. Michael... Michael... If it isn't an incest cult, where did all the people come from? You have Adam... And you have Eve... We know how babies are made... How did you multiply 2 people into 9 billion? Incest. What do you call two people who share the same set of parents? Siblings."

ARSHMUNKA

Depends on context: an idiot driver that has done the wrong thing is a stupid arshmunker.
An arshumnker can be someone who is being silly or stupid.
An arshmunka can be a dill, a silly bugga or a knob.

"You stupid Arshmunka, get off the road."

"You goofball, stop being an arshmunka", said playful
Saying this word is a way to let off steam and smile afterwards. Like swearing a good one but not swearing.

It is like you have a secret language and you just can't stay angry when you use the word in anger or frustration.

Argumopicking

A meta-fallacy and rhetorical evasion tactic where one dismantles an opponent's position by surgically isolating and attacking individual, out-of-context pieces of it, while ignoring the complete, integrated argument. It's intellectual nitpicking raised to a strategy: seizing on a minor ambiguity, a single unsupported sub-point, or a peripheral example, and acting as if discrediting that fragment destroys the entire central thesis. The Argumopicker avoids the forest by claiming victory over a single, misrepresented tree (or even just a leaf). It’s a bad-faith method to create the illusion of refutation without doing the hard work of engaging with the core idea.

*Example: "Her proposal for a four-day workweek included studies on productivity, employee well-being, and environmental benefits. The manager's rebuttal was pure argumopicking: 'You cited one study from 2018 that had a sample size of only 200 people in Iceland. Therefore, your entire concept is baseless.' He ignored the ten other studies and the logical framework, fixating on a tiny, attackable detail to reject the whole idea."

Argument Blind Spot

The specific inability to perceive the weaknesses, missing premises, or emotional core of your own argument. You experience it as a solid, seamless edifice, while viewing opposing arguments as fragile houses of cards. This blind spot makes you confused and angry when others aren't instantly persuaded, because to you, your case seems invulnerable. You've literally never seen its flaws.

Example: "He couldn't understand why no one was convinced by his argument. His argument blind spot hid the fact his entire case rested on a single, uncited statistic he'd heard on a podcast, and that his tone was dripping with condescension. He saw a steel trap of logic; everyone else saw a wet paper bag of arrogance."

Argument Forging

Manufacturing a complete argument from whole cloth, including fabricated evidence, invented experts, or fake citations. This is the creation of a persuasive narrative with no connection to reality, designed to be deployed as a ready-made rhetorical weapon. It's counterfeiting an entire case file for a trial that will never see a real judge.

Example: "She forged an argument against the development by citing a 'landmark study from the MIT Urban Planning Journal' that didn't exist, quoting a 'leading ecologist' she made up, and referencing local aquifer data she'd completely invented. Her argument was a compelling fiction, meticulously fabricated to sway the town council." Argument Forging

Argument Crafting

The skillful assembly of a persuasive argument by artfully selecting, framing, and connecting real (but often cherry-picked or decontextualized) pieces of evidence, appeals, and rhetorical moves. The craft lies in the arrangement and presentation, leading the audience down a specific path of thought while minimizing exposure to contradictory information. It's not making up the bricks, but building a wall that only shows their best side.

Example: "The prosecutor crafted her closing argument like a novelist. She took ambiguous text messages and crafted a story of premeditation, used the defendant's calm demeanor as evidence of a sociopathic lack of remorse, and sequenced the exhibits for maximum emotional narrative. It was less a presentation of facts and more a guided tour through a version of reality she had constructed." Argument Crafting
