Fallacient 

It means anything and noting all at once.

Girl I went to that store and it was just so… Fallacient

Fallascientism

A self-refuting logical fallacy and meta-fallacy that declares any claim to be false or non-existent solely due to a lack of current scientific or empirical evidence, while willfully ignoring the inherent limitations of science, the scientific method, and empiricism itself. It commits the cardinal sin of scientism by making an absolute, unscientific philosophical claim—"only the scientifically verified is real"—and then wields it as a club to silence criticism, non-hegemonic viewpoints, and counter-hegemonic positions. It's a rhetorical power move disguised as rational rigor, used to protect dominant paradigms by dismissing entire categories of inquiry (like ethics, metaphysics, or subjective experience) as "invalid" before they can even be examined.

Example: "When she spoke about the profound cultural and spiritual loss caused by the dam project, the corporate consultant hit her with Fallascientism: 'Your "sense of loss" isn't measurable or falsifiable. There's no peer-reviewed paper quantifying this "cultural damage." Therefore, it's not a real factor in our cost-benefit analysis.' He used the absence of a specific type of evidence to invalidate the entire argument, protecting the hegemonic logic of pure economics."

When your penis has reached zen and no matter how attractive the woman is, you will not pop any boners

Ron: Hey Joe, you check out that chick? She looks hot
Joe: Yes, she's mighty fine looking there Joe.
Ron: How come you ain't got no boner? She's fine! Look at that bootay
Joe: I'm quite alright Joe. My penis has reached full zen. My penis is fallacidated

Fallascience

A two-pronged fallacy. First, it's the dogmatic assertion that only that which can be proven by the scientific method or empiricism is "real," dismissing metaphysics, ethics, art, and subjective experience as meaningless—which is itself an unscientific, philosophical claim (making it self-refuting). Second, it refers to the use of Fallacy Fallacies and related meta-arguments specifically to defend the hegemonic system and its ideologies, using the veneer of "rationality" to shut down dissent. It's scientism weaponized as a rhetorical cudgel for status quo apologetics.

Example: "When asked about the ethical implications of AI surveillance, the engineer scoffed with Fallascience: 'Ethics isn't empirically verifiable, so it's not a real discussion. Your concerns are just fallacies arising from an emotional, non-STEM mindset.' He used the armor of 'science' to avoid any non-technical critique of his work."

Logical fallacies 

A useful set of 'refutational tools' whose usage is mainly seen in random internet arguments but can also equally be applied in the IRL realm too, such as against your wife or your boss. The former scenario is where people often abuse logical fallacies to the point of committing a fallacy fallacy, so be wise and use them sparingly and only as a supplement to your argument.

Also related to non sequitur.

1) Jim called out his boss by using logical fallacies to poke holes in his ridiculous decisions.
2) Tommy used logical fallacies to his advantage in order to expose the inconsistencies in his girlfriend's reasoning with regards to how he should spend his money.

Meta-Fallacies

Errors in reasoning that occur not within an argument itself, but in the process of identifying, analyzing, or dismissing other fallacies. They are mistakes made one level up, in the "meta" layer of argumentation. The classic example is the Fallacy Fallacy (dismissing a claim as false solely because it was argued for with a fallacy). Meta-fallacies are the pitfalls of being a fallacy detective—getting so focused on catching logical errors that you commit new ones by misapplying labels, being overly pedantic, or using fallacy calls to avoid engaging with the substance of an argument.

Meta-Fallacies Example: Person A makes a valid point about economic inequality but uses a slightly emotional analogy. Person B triumphantly declares, "Aha! Appeal to emotion! Your entire point is invalid!" Person B has committed the Fallacy Fallacy, a primary Meta-Fallacy. They incorrectly believe identifying a flaw in the argument's delivery automatically negates its factual content.

Semi-fallacies

Reasoning errors that are almost but not quite full fallacies—arguments that have the appearance of fallaciousness without fully meeting the criteria. Semi-fallacies live in the borderlands between valid and invalid reasoning. An argument might be technically fallacious but practically reasonable; it might contain a fallacy but still point toward truth. Semi-fallacies are the gray areas of logic, where rigid categorization fails. Recognizing them requires judgment, not just memorization of fallacy names. They're the reason fallacy-spotting in online debates is often itself fallacious—because real arguments rarely fit cleanly into textbook categories.

Semi-fallacies Example: "His argument had the shape of a slippery slope, but the slope was short and the steps well-supported. Was it a fallacy or just a prediction? Semi-fallacy—not quite one, not quite not. She couldn't simply cry 'fallacy' and dismiss it; she had to engage the substance. The gray area demanded thought, not labels."
