Get the Scatter Logicalmug. 1: Dude did you see John punch that guy in the throat?
2: Yeah, but he had it coming, he dissed John's mom.
1: Hmm, that's true. I guess John committed a logical phallusy.

Get the Logical Phallusymug. by nelsha moha March 9, 2016
Get the logical explanationmug. A phrase, or verbal tactical argument that is sufficiently devastating in its logic to blatantly show the inherent irrationality of an idea, a policy, a social norm, or an institution, and therefore to destroy it.
(There is of course, sadly, the potentially long interim period between when a social norm or institution is destroyed logically and when it ends in actuality.)

Slavery: search the writings of Frederick Douglass
Dueling: see Robert Axelrod's Complexity of Cooperation
Example of a Logic Bomb for the death penalty:
Because inherently some few innocent people are executed every year, those that support the death penalty, particularly those judges, etc. that willingly participate in carrying it out, are at the very least serial accomplices in murder (and because it is willful and premeditated, they are likely 1st degree offenders). Because of the high number of such cases (not to mention the particular cruelty and callousness involved, let alone the serial nature of their crimes) they are eligible for the death penalty, and should be placed under arrest immediately.

Get the Logic Bombmug. A paradoxical statement that seems to have a flaw in its logic, yet none can be found. Term refers to the film "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," where this logic is used frequently.
In some cases, Magorium logic may appear somewhat circular in nature, with the logic pattern looping back upon itself.

Get the Magorium logicmug. Starting with a conclusion first, fudgy logic is the process of using faulty and sometimes made up assumptions, reasoning and justifications, to arrive at the said foregone conclusion.
Similar to circular reasoning, except the in-between steps are faulty or fudged up.

1. Joe insists that 1+1=10 because he does arithmethic in binary, and therefore through fudgy logic deduction, no other number-base should exist.
2. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Dubya attacked Iraq anyway, using dubious justifications; a classic application of fudgy logic.
