ad homonym

A logical fallacy used in an argument or debate. When someone attacks the person instead of the subject at hand, usually complete irrelevant and personal.

Guy: I think that the American internment camps for Japanese-Americans were justified.

Girl: How can you say that? Then the Americans aren't doing too much different than Germany with the Jews.

Guy: Yea well you're a slut.

Girl: That has nothing to do with the subject at hand, is your ad homonym attack a sign of you're ignorance and stupidity?
