A Slippery Apricot

Similar to a slippery slope, but in relation to mistakes. A mistake that is an impetus and leads to other mistakes down the line - often costly ones that cascade further.

Skipping my morning workout was a slippery apricot, as I didn't get anything done the entire day.

Scientific Slippery Slope

A rhetorical fallacy common in online science communication, skeptic communities, and anti-pseudoscience circles where any expression of doubt, criticism of scientific institutions, or engagement with non-scientific beliefs is treated as the first step down an inevitable path toward severe anti-science and harmful practices. The scientific slippery slope assumes that questioning a study means you reject all science; that being open to alternative medicine means you'll abandon evidence-based treatment; that entertaining a spiritual belief means you're one step from vaccine denial. In reality, most people hold complex, contextual views that don't slide into extremism. The fallacy functions as a thought-terminating cliché, allowing debunkers to dismiss nuance without engagement. It protects scientific orthodoxy by making any deviation seem dangerous, conflating skepticism of particular claims with rejection of science itself, and turning genuine epistemic humility into a perceived threat.

Example: "He suggested that peer review might have flaws, and they immediately accused him of being anti-science. Scientific Slippery Slope: a reasonable critique was treated as the first step toward burning textbooks."

Pseudoscience Slippery Slope

A specific form of scientific slippery slope where any non-scientific belief, no matter how innocuous or personally held, is treated as inevitably leading to extremely harmful practices. The pseudoscience slippery slope assumes that belief in astrology leads to rejection of astronomy; that practicing meditation means you'll refuse medical treatment; that exploring alternative spirituality leads to cult membership. The fallacy erases the distinction between worldview and action, between personal belief and public harm, between harmless eccentricity and dangerous pseudoscience. It functions to police the boundaries of acceptable belief, making any deviation from scientific orthodoxy seem threatening. The result is a culture where people hide legitimate spiritual or philosophical explorations for fear of being labeled dangerous, and where genuine epistemic diversity is suppressed in favor of enforced consensus.

Example: "She mentioned enjoying tarot cards for self-reflection, and he warned her that she was on the path to rejecting all medicine. Pseudoscience Slippery Slope: a harmless hobby treated as the first step to disaster."

Walking the slippery slug

The act of the man having to get up and go find a cum rag when nobody thought to get one ahead of time. Named as such because there is usually a slug trail from the bed to where the guy finds the necessary absorbent item. Often a t-shirt or towel is the first thing they find.

Ginger forgot to get a cum rag, so Chad had to resort to walking the slippery slug to the hamper to grab a shirt.

George: Come on Jack, remember what dad always told us: "A Penguin That Prefers His Fish Cooked Waddles On A Slippery Slope." You know you have no chance with Jessica, stop obsessing over it.
