poison the well

When a person rejects the conclusion of an argument by attacking its source, rather than attacking its premise.

Hitler claims that the earth goes around the sun.
But Hitler is evil and cannot be trusted.
Therefore the earth does not go around the sun.

poison the well

A fucking amazing band that scream lyrics that actually mean something. The song "Nerdy" has a funny twist because its actually a love song, but its screamed.

Poison the Well is the best band I've ever heard.

poison the well

a decent melodic metalcore band for people new to the scene who have progressively gotten worse

poison the well is a decent band but other bands like remembering never and the red chord are better

Poison the Well

Best hardcore band ever. Not a screamo, emo, punk, pop-punk, indie, ska, hard rock, or metal band. Real hardcore. Since they are so great, this word can be used as an adjective to describe anything that is that awesome.

That chick is so poisonthewell, I need to get a piece of that right now.
