The false belief that all people who drive Subarus are gay, because all lesbians drive Subarus.
Christie: hey Joe you're clearly a flaming homosexual because of those burnt orange briefs. Steve: No way! I'm an expert on men's underwear. Like Rick from Pawn Stars calls me when he has questions. This is a classic example of the Subaru Fallacy!
Nobel Savage Fallacy (not to be confused with the Noble Savage Myth) is an error in reasoning by which incidental commonalities between modern scientific theory/technology and ancient cultural expressions are claimed to support a conclusion that the ancients must have had access to modern knowledge.
The fallacy is usually committed by those with an at best shallow understanding of either modern science, ancient cultures, or - frequently - both.
It is commonly committed by those seeking to bolster the foundations of their modern cultural hegemony by arguing that the purported central tenets of its ancient precursors were rationally developed, and any deviations from those traditional norms are movement away from the ostensibly scientific ideal.
It is also frequently deployed by charlatans attempting to sell products or services derived from ancient techniques, who wish to gain a veneer of scientific plausibility for their offerings - that they in no way deserve.
"No, dude, those symbols do not mean they had spaceships, even if they look a little bit like that rocket Bezos made - mistaking what is obviously a poorly-drawn penis for a spacecraft is just the Nobel Savage Fallacy!"
"Babe, Gwenyth can say whatever she likes - but stuffing that crystal up your coochie is not gonna cure anything, even if the Biddelonians have been doing it for centuries... yes, I've heard of phototherapy, but that crystal isn't gonna refract any light up there, it's just another Nobel Savage Fallacy!"

Hym "No. Slippery slope fallacy.. You can pay me for my work. You're LYING and trying to frame it as though you're giving me something for nothing. I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DO THIS. YOU CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS."
It's not a fallacy guys! See!? See!? It's real!
Hym "What the entire conservative position has become over the last for years. The slippery slope fallacy. We can't do this because THEN they'll want THAT! And then pretty soon we'll be holding our kids butthole open for the pedophiles!"
The truth will have no conceivable defence, where as a fictional narrative can always be confirmed as fallacy.
John: I believe that we can grow our gross revenue 10% over the next six years using this marketing strategy.
Harvey: Well, facts are friendly. until then, fiction is fallacy.
The definition of fact being an absolute truth, where as to define fallacy is to holding a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments.
Facts are friendly, fiction is fallacy - would be defined as until you have evidence you are unable to make a case against the fallacy of your argument.
Where you think you're more awesome than everyone else, and that your opinions are so right, they don't require justification and everyone else is stupid for thinking differently.
Person 1: "I disagree with you, I think the Beatles is a boy band because some of their early stuff shows especially the commercialism aspect of boy bands."
Jack: "That's wrong, obviously the Beatles isn't a boy band."
Person 1: "That's actually the Jack Fallacy, not a real argument."
Jack: "Anyone who doesn't believe in God is an idiot, there's obviously a God."
Person 2: "the Jack Fallacy."
