Waffle Argument

When a sentence is completely twisted or invented during an argument.
Essentially putting words in someone's mouth to make them look bad or make yourself look better.

Person A: "I love pancakes!"

Person B: "So you hate waffles?!"

Person A: "No, stop using waffle arguments. That is a completely different sentence from what I said."

Adorably Argumentatively Modest

A term for people who cannot take a compliment but their constant protests to compliments just make them even more adorable.

Lucy is so adorably argumentatively modest, she always fights me when I tell her she is amazing and beautiful.

2 dollar argument

When you have an irrational argument over something miniscule and then realize how pointless it was afterwards.

"Did I really just argue over how to dab correctly? That was such a 2 dollar argument.."

Best Atheist Argument

Mine.

Hym "I'm pretty sure the best atheist argument against the existence of God was mine. Which was (If you all don't remember which you probably don't even have to because you clearly have access to this in a way I do not) If God exists, it created an inferior race of being to have it's way with for eternity. If it's a sentient lifeform that did this deliberately, it is either culpable or directly responsible for everything that happens here. This is both the worst possible iteration of reality conceivable and something I wouldn't have ever chosen. Which means it's non-consensual. It (God) is, therefore, either evil or incompetent. I mean, seriously, I've been trying to poop for like 10 minutes now. I sat down because I- Ope, there it goes. I got it out while I was editing. But even now, my legs are numb because I've been on the toilet for so long. Hold on.................................... (Had to wipe) Alright... So, I'm literally a captive. Beyond that I'm trapped here with you. Which is not going great. And, um, yeah... "

Close your legs arguments

Typically misogynistic arguments used to push the onus on the one in question to deny them rights . Used to commonly conflate responsibility with rights provided serving as a red herring .

You shouldn't appeal to close your legs arguments such as telling a man to get a vasectomy or practice abstinence if he doesnt want to pay child support as if the right to decline child support has any bearing on whether he's responsible or not .

The Conspiracy-Loop Argument

Every conspiracy theory can be presented as a conspiracy itself.

A: I'm telling you, there are aliens in Area 51, it's no conspiracy theory.
B: No, the conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory, it's what they want you to think.
A: You are just using the Conspiracy-Loop Argument.
