Hipster Logic

Typically with the signature air of self-congratulation, Hipster Logic is the seemingly logical but contextually naïve viewpoint often used by young hipsters.
- "Buy now and save money!"
- "Giving is saving."
- "Free phone with 2 year contract."
- "1,000 bonus points!"

Unto themselves, hipsters might use hipster logic is justify an action that seems en vogue, popular, or feel-good.

Onto them, hipster logic is used in marketing to manipulate naïve consumers to feel an artificial sense of accomplishment or urgency.

I first coined this word in November 2013.

Hipster Logic often leads to ironic, if not amusing, situations.

- Occupy Wall Street movement participants using iPhones and Android phones to coordinate efforts via the networks provided by AT&T and Verizon. None of which would be possible without the large-scale investments that would only be possible through massive capital markets and financial trades.
- Driving Toyota Prius cars (where all profits go overseas) to an anti-Wal-Mart rally against low wages and lack of higher paying jobs.
- Enjoying window plants in their urban renovation condo with new hardwood floors and cabinets to reduce their carbon footprint.
- While bicycling, ignoring street lights and stop signs with the belief bicycles don't constitute traffic or cause accidents.

logic bomb

A phrase, or verbal tactical argument that is so utterly flawless in it's logic that it obliterates any previously made statements by other people present in the conversation.

Diana:"Why is Sam crying in the corner?"
Nicole: "Because I just logic bombed his belief that he will one day get into medical school and become a doctor, based upon the fact that he has already failed the MCAT three times."
Diana:" Ah, i see."

Logic Bomb

A program that performs a certain action when certain conditions are met, such as deleting all files on Christmas eve, although it is not necessarily malevolent. Though it is not technically a virus, it is often grouped that way.

There was some speculation that the turn of the millenium will set off tons of logic bombs that lie dormant in computers.

Zeus Logic

A very ambiguous yet genius train of thought, usually involves a lot of nostalgic references. Can be confused for mindless ramble, until you get till the end and realize that it was nothing but sheer brilliance.

Zeus logic is why i go to middleeasy.com everyday.

Logical Phallusy

A clearly defined error in reasoning used to support or refute an argument about sexual prowess.

The assumption that having a bigger and/or more powerful car makes you a bigger and/or more powerful man is a logical phallusy.

Boomer logic

When a boomer says some wild shit that no longer applies in today's society because we live in the real world and not off of old timey slogans.

"Respect your elders son"
"Fuck off with your boomer logic"
Or
"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
"Then I guess with that boomer logic you shouldn't worry about Corona virus"
