Words you can keep
A kind of contentious reasoning that seeks to appear victorious in disputation, without regard for truth. It is distinguished from sophistic because it is not concerned with appearing wise, only with seeming victorious in disputation.
The following are some well-known eristic arguments taken from Aristotle's On Sophistical Refutations.

Eristic argument 1. There is sight of what is seen. The pillar is seen. Therefore, the pillar has sight.

Eristic argument 2. Whatever you profess-to-be, that you profess-to-be. You profess a stone to-be. Therefore, you profess-to-be a stone.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
