true fallacy

A fallacy that is meaningful irrespective of the truthiness of subjectivity's premises because the subjective precedes the objective on the line of time.

A fallacy that must be treated as meaningful and therefore real because the subjective vector universally points toward truth whereas the object-vector does so exclusively specifically.
A true fallacy is true regardless of its premises ie. meaning CREATES reality a la Kant.

Freudian fall

An extreme version of the Freudian slip where the person says or does something that reveals their subconscious feelings so much that they will never be able to be themselves again. This error redefines them.
When Carson asked Asher if he was going into the school dance or if he was just going to hang outside. Asher replied that he'd only go if he could go into the "pants" with him. Asher said it loud enough that Barry heard. Barry posted it and Asher could never pick himself up from that Freudian fall.

Redditman Fallacy

A subcategory of the common strawman fallacy.

A Redditman Fallacy is when a user pushes an agenda by showing a screenshot of a reddit post. This reddit post is usually atrocious in quality or with terrible takes, in which the user may clown and easily defeat the argument in order to push their agenda.

An example of this is clear in politically motivated twitter accounts using screenshots including but not limited to reddit posts
Very smart individual 1 : Look at this reddit post of <group they disagree with>! And they're calling us <insert buzzword>
Very smart individual 2 : Wow, I agree,

Everyone else : This is literally a Redditman Fallacy

The pommel fallacy

When someone in an argument attempts to deny your argument by nitpicking a small mistake, such as a mis-pronunciation or typo. Named after the famous "end him rightly" meme, where a fencing opponent throws their pommel in your face as a distraction.
"That's actually a sea lion, not a seal, therefore you're completely wrong about everything" "Bullcrap, that's The pommel fallacy"
