arcumvent 

v. the act of one, when in a seated position, having to bend uncomfortably forward (or to the side) to avoid the incessant coughing and resultant flying of mucus from hitting the back of one's neck. This is a maneuver used for one to passive-aggressively confront rude people seated behind him/her who don't or won't sickline or cover their mouth. Maneuver is particularly effective when used in conjunction with a hooded garment, although it can cause back/neck pain/spasms after prolonged use.

"The person behind me in class was coughing so loud that I had to arcumvent forward so I could hear the professor and not get snot/spit/mucus on the back of my neck! My back is KILLING me now! Next time I see this person there are gonna be cocksequences!"

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.

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"
