False Jump

A jump where the athlete backs out, ceases, lands feet first (unintentionally), stumbles, or is unable to start a jump.

I’m counting that as a false jump, you forgot your midform.

False Joan of arc

A female that tries to make fun of false prophets and thinks she's Joan of arc, when really she's more like a different kind of Joan.

The false Joan of arc thought she was the next Joan of arc, even though she had tried to ridicule other people she referred to as false prophets, people who weren't even interested in anything spiritual in nature.

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 Checking

1. Fraudulently claiming something as fact-checked to support an arguement when there is insufficient or contradictory evidence.

2. Citing potentially unreliable sources or sources with contradictory information to support a position, assuming that the audience will not thoroughly examine the references.

Politicians and journalists frequently employ deceptive tactics, such as gaslighting and false checking, in an attempt to manipulate public perception when presented with compelling evidence that challenges their assertions.

false ten

When someone seems much hotter then they actually are because the other people around are ugly. For example, when you are at work, there's a limited amount of people to look at so the hottest person might seem like a 10 but they are actually a 6 because everyone else you work with is super ugly.

Our gym teacher is a false ten because all of the other teachers I work with are fat and ugly.

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.

false-hope-commitment

when you break off every other relationship you have for one person you hope to date in the future and then realize how unlikely a relationship is with them.

a person who suffers from false-hope-commitment is probably also depressed, if not they will be.

did you see them they look like their suffering from false-hope-commitment
