Fallax

Latin for "deceptive" or "treacherous," the root of the word "fallacy." Also the name of a phishing simulation tool that companies use to send realistic fake phishing emails to their own staff. Being "fallaxed" means falling for one of them: you click, and type your password into the fake login page.

"Fallax gratia et vana est pulchritudo." (Proverbs 31:30: "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting.")

"That Microsoft 'password expires in one hour' email looked so real. I typed in my password and got fallaxed. At least the page showed me the sender address was off by one letter."

\ ˈflȯi-dē-ən ˈfa-lə-sē \ (noun)

The erroneous belief that a single video of police brutality proves systemic racism.

Fallabama Waffle 

A sex act similar to the Boston Pancake, a man takes a shit on his lovers chest and smashes it down with his ass cheeks, he then takes his penis and mushroom stamps the shit paddy, thus creating the look of a waffle. He then jizzs on the shit waffle to simulate syrup.

Note: To simulate strawberry syrup use one of the three methods below.

1. Screw a women while shes on her period and flick the blood off of the penis onto the shit waffle.

2. Screw the person in the asshole until they bleed then flick the blood off of the penis onto the shit waffle.

3. Slit your own penis with a knife and pour the blood onto the shit waffle.

Apex Fallacy 

The assumption that because very few members of a group are powerful, therefore the rest of them must necessarily share that power too.

Example 1:

Jane: The top paid athletes in the USA are African-American, therefore all African-Americans athletes are richer than athletes of other racial backgrounds.
Joe: No, that's the Apex Fallacy: you are resourcing to the top outliers to make general assumptions regarding the specified population, that is, African-American athletes.

Example 2:

Jane: Men are 93% of the top 500 richest CEOs, therefore it is obvious that men in general are privileged.
Joe: No, that's the Apex Fallacy. Men are the majority of the unemployed and the homeless are nearly 80% male too. You can't derive conclusions regarding the whole based either on the top or lower outliers, but when you resource to the top outliers, you end up committing the Apex Fallacy. It would be wrong to infer that men are necessarily underprivileged because they are the majority of the poorer 1% too, that would be the Bottom Fallacy.

Apex Fallacy 

This is a logical fallacy that assumes properties of the most visible members of a group are held by all members of the group.

The most powerful people in the World are men, hence all men are powerful. This is an Apex fallacy, not all men are powerful.

The World's best long distance runners come from Africa, hence all Africans are good long distance runners. This is an Apex fallacy, not all Africans are good long distance runners.

Vegans Assumption Fallacy

A vegan must never assume that something is vegan unless and until it's confirmed to be vegan.

A vegan realised that he/she consumed a non-vegan product by failing to check the ingredients label, therefore falling prey to "Vegans Assumption Fallacy".
