Armless Hitch Hiker 

This situation in which an individual finds themselves armless and also in desperate need of a lift somewhere.

Man1: Oh shit I just remembered I'm gonna have to hitch hike to the Vietnam memorial service, but I lost my arms in the war!
Man2: No excuses! You still gotta dick ain't ya? Looks like it's the armless Hitch hiker for you...
The process of utterly obliterating an opponent's entire (usually religious or political) argument, usually in one or more succinct or terse statements, orally or in writing; employed almost exclusively by Christopher Hitchens.

Examples can be found in nearly every Hitchens debate, occasionally in articles, and in the form of entire books, about subjects or people.
Christopher Hitchen's book God Is Not Great was effectively one long Hitchslap to organized religion.

About twenty minutes into the debate Dinesh d'Souza got Hitchslapped and never really recovered from it.

Hitchens was a guest in a Fox News segment the other day. He Hitchslapped just about everyone on there.

It was funny the other day when Sean Hannity invited Hitchens on the show and tried to be a smartass, but was abruptly Hitchslapped for his trouble.

Hitchens Rule

A person can't discuss the virtues of water boarding in the press or on TV until they themselves have been water boarded. Named after the late journalist Christopher Hitchens who had himself water boarded to experience the torture method so that he could discuss it with better insight.
A person would invoke the Hitchens Rule in social media when someone who has not been the subject of water boarding, begins to describe it in glowing terms, or that the act is not actually torture.
