Motetheus

A demi-god like woman who is worshiped by an extinct tribe off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
She takes the form of a girl from time to time, and the word can be used to describe any god-like female, though very few are deserving of the title. There are some who believe that the world has only one such female at time.
Guy 1: Man, she's a dime piece.

motte-and-bailey argument

Also called the motte-and-bailey fallacy. A sort of rhetorical bait-and-switch where one puts forward a controversial point, then claims that they're actually arguing something far less controversial if challenged. This is often done by giving something an agreeable name (e.g., claiming that people who oppose Black Lives Matter the group oppose black lives mattering as a basic concept).

First coined by the philosopher Nicholas Shackel in 2005 and popularized by Star Slate Codex in 2014. Named after a style of medieval castle, where the hillfort (motte) is surrounded by a walled village (bailey). If the bailey was overrun, defenders could fall back to the motte and better weather the attack.
