Special Logic

Creating a unique, ad-hoc, or personalized set of logical rules to defend a predetermined conclusion, especially when applied to a special case dear to the arguer. This logic often contradicts the general logic they apply to everything else and is immune to standard counter-argument.
Example: "He deployed special logic for his favorite politician: 'Sure, taking undisclosed money is corruption for others, but for him, it's just building pragmatic relationships to get things done for people like us.' The rules of cause, effect, and ethics were specially rewritten for that one person."

Logie Special 

When an individual (a male) wears a shirt and shorts combo, where the length of the shirt surpasses the length of the shorts. It appears that the individual is only wearing a shirt but in reality, they are also wearing shorts. It's not just a fashion, it's a lifestyle.
1. Guy 1: "Are you only wearing a t-shirt?"
Guy 2: "Nope, there are shorts under there."
Guy 1: "Ahh, nice."

2. If an NBA player's jersey were to untuck, pre-90s, they would be sporting a 'Logie Special.'
