Margument 

A minor or mini argument. Not something that blows up into something larger but constitutes for a heated discussion or debate.
My boyfriend and I got into a margument, but we’re fine, it wasn’t anything serious.

Circular Argument 

An argument that goes nowhere. Though a person believes he or she is arguing a point, the argument does not progress because the individual provides the same point for the effect as he/she does for the cause (i.e., the effect is just the cause stated in different words). In short, what is given as the effect is already made obvious--either overtly or implicitly--by the supporting reason provided.

To say, "I didn't like that movie because it was really bad," is to provide a premise in support of the opinion that goes without saying. It goes without saying that if one does not like the movie, he/she will not believe the movie is good. Likewise, statements such as "I am Bainz, so I am drunk," "I enjoy listening to music when I study because music helps me to study," and "I wear Fant-Ho shades because they're the best shades" are equally circular in nature. A true argument would supply support that explains WHY Bainz is always drunk, HOW music helps the person's study habits, and WHAT makes Fant-Ho shades better than other brands.

Dumb people write circular arguments.
Swain stated the obvious when he made the circular argument, "I am Swain; therefore, I am a clown-bitch." I was like, duh!

elliotic argument 

An argument that is so bad that it is instantly destroyed by everyone who encounters it. An argument that is so clearly false that the only person who could possibly take it seriously is someone who is borderline retarded. To be a true elliotic argument the argument must be defended by a deluded fool who despite his extreme inadequacies suffers from a severe case of megalomania.
have you seen this guy who calls himself The AK? His arguments are so bad that they qualify as elliotic arguments.

misargument

Trying to point out a flaw in your opponent's logic by using an example or argument that is likewise (or even more so) logically flawed, inapplicable, or even inadvertently confirming the other point of view.
"You say you disagree with me, but you're so stupid you don't even realize that your logic actually favors the very point I'm making. What you're saying constitutes a misargument."

"The analogy you're using is not even remotely applicable to the issue we're discussing. It's a complete and total misargument."

Argument recycler

Someone that uses the same argument against you that you just used against them earlier in the day, that generally resulted in a win. The argument recycler will often use the previous argument out of context making them look dumber than when they were wrong about whatever started the argument. A technique most often used by poor debaters or women.
"Caroline is such an argument recycler".
"Yeah, I beat her earlier in the day in an argument about the benefits of chop stix versus forks, then this afternoon she tried to use the same argument to prove lesbians and sperm whales can make babies, ridiculous"

Argumentertainment 

(n) (AR-gyoo-MEN-turh-TAYNE-mint)

A source of entertainment, according to the lowest common denominator of human intelligence, derived from watching people argue and generally hate each other. This is most commonly found on situational reality television shows, reality game shows, staged abomination-abortions of popular culture, and mostly anything on Bravo, MTV, or the Style Network.

(Derived from Italian for "obnoxious attention-seeking whores")
Girlfriend: "Oh m'gyah did you see The Jersey Shore the other night? Fackin' Vinny and Paulie fought each other, but neither of them actually threw a punch! What a bunch of pussies, right? It's such a train wreck!"

You: "Woman, get out of my fucking apartment and don't come back until you get it through your head that this awful, goddamn argumentertainment is systematically making you EVEN DUMBER, were that even POSSIBLE, than you were before."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
