lincoln-douglas debate

1. The type of debate that is similar to policy debate, except that it is based on the debater's ability to think creatively and logically, rather than their ability to spew random facts at a rate that makes them sound to everybody except for other debaters like someone who is either vomiting out syllables or is demon-possessed. Generally accepted as the best kind of debate, as it allows the most room for crazy mind-grenade generating arguments. Lincoln douglas debaters are generally acknowledged to be twice as good as either pofo or policy debaters, because it takes two of the other types of debaters to make a team, but only one lincoln douglas debater.

"hey, does that guy do lincoln-douglas debate?"
"yeah, he's like one of the awesomest people ever. He gets tons of females, he's super cool, and he speaks at normal speeds"

Messina-Genaro Debate

A form of debate developed due to the flaws with Public Form and Lincoln Douglas Debate. The format is slightly different in a sense that there is an inherant Value and Value Criterion. The Value is "Crispyness" and the Value Criterion is "Jeffersonism".

Messina-Genaro Debate is far more crispy than LD and PF.

J-Cole Debate

When two people are having an argument, and one person’s opinion is wrong due to sheer stupidity, it is up to the correct person to point out that they are now simply in a “J-Cole Debate”*.

*As originated by an argument stating that J-Cole was as successfully relevant as Kendrick Lamar.

Guy 1: Claims the Earth is flat.

Guy 2: Shows and explains to Guy 1 that the earth is round.

Guy 1: Disregards the recently proved correct opinion, and continues to argue his own incorrect point.
Guy 2: “This is pointless, Guy 1. You’ve turned this into a J-Cole Debate.”
