Appeal to Six 

The Appeal To Six (Also Known as: The Six Fallacy and "Some NPC Type of Behavior"):

The false belief that if Six said some shit, you can use it in a debate. This also applies to using his youtube videos, statements he's made, tiktok's he's posted or previous debates he's had as evidence.

Phrases such as "Debate Six on it," "Six proved that's not true," and @ ing Six to join the VC and disprove your opponent all fall under this fallacy.
Debater 1: "In the databook, it says Hiruzen is stronger than Hashirama."

Debater 2: "Yeah but Six said that's not true."

Debater 1: "That's an Appeal to Six."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
