fringe logic

Noun

Fringe Logic literally means Logic on the fringe of Illogical.

A form of thinking or thought patterns that are based on irrational and or tangent based logic. It is a pattern of thinking based on outlandishness and at times denial of real logic or sound reasoning.

A good example of this is what goes on in the heads of Conspiracy Theorists. Example: people who believe in a flat earth denying scientific observation over what we have known for hundreds of years because of a perception everything we know is wrong.

Another example of fringe logic is when someone drinks poison thinking it will kill whatever is making them sick too leading them to a cure.

Fringe Logic is associated with bad ideas and worse implementation. It also applies to counter culture.
Example 1:
I know you told me you are going to a job interview dressed in drag. I have no clue what fringe logic led you to that idea but I am going to say I hope you like rejection.

Example 2:
Did you hear that guy preaching how our current president is the Anti-Christ? He tried to sound so intellectual but his fringe logic was all over the place. No wonder nobody gets along with that guy.

Fridge logic 

A realization (or plot hole) that hits you long after you finish watching a movie (or reading a book) and have already moved on to other things such as raiding the fridge.
I was struck by Harry Potter fridge logic today when I realized Fred and George are cooler than people think. In the first book, Fred and George charm snowballs to bounce off the back of Quirrel's turban. (SPOILER) It is revealed that Voldemort's face is under the turban on the back of Quirrel's head. So the twins were nailing Voldemort in the face!

Fridge logic 

Moving shit around in a fridge to fit other shit in. This is generally used in small fridges with large bottles and or foodstuffs. Fridge logic can also be used when trying to fit people (generally dead) into a frige without a large area for body-storage. here are a few ways to best use fridge logic:

1. remove shelves, allowing you to fit larger items in.

2. put the item through a woodchipper. it will then take up less space and will be easier to manipulate (and identify)

3. Get a bigger fridge.

If the items still do not fit in the fridge. they probably do not belong in a fridge and should be stored up your ass.
Harlee: "How are we gonna fit the Passion pop into that tiny fridge?"
Scotty: *Removes shelves and throws into motel room* "there."
Harlee: "Nice fridge logic."
