Bottom Up Fallacy

A word some intellectually inferior person aka Nathan Thompson, uses in an "argument" to refute claims of ships disappearing "bottom up" on the horizon.

"Ships disappearing bottom up is a bottom up fallacy, ships only do that because my ass is so cavernous that it actually swallows the ships not the horizon, it is my anus not the curve" -Nathan Thompson

yuppie's necktie fallacy

Fallacious belief that something must be good because you shelled out a lot of money for it. From the joke about two nouveau-riche types who are standing next to each other at a party wearing identical ties. One says, "I got this tie for five hundred Euro". The other says, "That's nothing. I got mine for at least two thousand Euro." Not to be confused with the principal that if you buy cheap, you get cheap ... for a yuppie's necktie is never cheap.

Don't spend a hundred grand on a car. Only those who can't see through the yuppie's necktie fallacy do that.
