non sequitard

A chain of logic with ends so remote that to anybody else it seems to be completely unrelated. Like a wiki walk, but through your head, and there's no history.

Example of a non sequitard:

Alice: Hmm... I think Grassy Knoll Dew would be better than Mountain Dew.
<pause>
Bob: Would walruses fight for us in the zombie apocalypse if we gave them buckets?
Bob: Don't even try to figure out how I got there.

borderline non sequitur

1. A statement that only just succeeds in logically following the statement that came before it.

2. A statement that logically follows the statement that came before it, but to an insignificant degree.

Adi: Cha' it makes sense, twas a borderline non sequitur though. You were quite roundabout in the way you were trying to explain your point. I almost thought you were about to continue that abrupt transition to it's endmost unrelated-ness. Where we would begin exploring a path of some non sequitur, but you just barely somehow inbrought all those tangential thoughts together to explain your point. I'm impressed.
