An initial premise, which is then defended by logical fallacies, including but not limited to Ad hominem attacks, Red Herrings and Association fallacies. When evidence is finally overwhelming that the parties' argument is false, they disappear. Hence, "LayLow Logic".
It needs to be noted that LayLow logic is a chronic behavior, and the individual accused of this has to demonstrate a consistent pattern of this behavior. One or two logical argument mis-steps, and disappearing because of embarrassment, does not make one guilty of "LayLow Logic". A chronic and pathological pattern must be present.
An additional corollary to LayLow Logic is that popularism and perceived peer respect play an impotent role. The party using LayLow Logic with attempt to defect with personal attacks or red herring diversions. In reality, this is party bidding for time, until the particular story drop off the front page of the web or blog site.
Gil claimed the mortgage interest deduction was key to many low income people holding their home. When it was demonstrated by a third party to the debate that most low income people are better off with the standard deduction, Gil disappeared. Since Gil had a chronic habit of this, he was soon accused of LayLow Logic.
Phil, as is normal, had been arguing a point on a blog, but as soon as the story dropped off the front page, Phil disappeared. Since Phil commonly did this, he was soon accused of "LayLow Logic".

Starting with a conclusion first, fudgy logic is the process of using faulty and sometimes made up assumptions, reasoning and justifications, to arrive at the said foregone conclusion.
Similar to circular reasoning, except the in-between steps are faulty or fudged up.
1. Joe insists that 1+1=10 because he does arithmethic in binary, and therefore through fudgy logic deduction, no other number-base should exist.
2. To Jane's and Spot's surprise, Dick ate all the lasagnia, because his fudgy logic dictated that since they let him eat first, no one else wanted it.

A thought process or statement that has such large holes in it and makes such little sense that you think the person must be joking, but they are actually serious.
John: Wow, Dan, I could use a cup of coffee.
Dan: NO! Caffeine is horrible!
John: Really?
Dan: Yeah, one time I snorted cocaine, shot up heroin, took a bottle of aspirin, and drank a cup of coffee, and I've had trouble breathing and a twitch ever since. I'll never drink coffee again!
John: Wow, Dan, that is such mendy logic!
Katie: Gosh Jess, I have this Target gift card I've been dying to use but Target closed an hour ago!
Jess: Why don't you just go to Wal-Mart? It's open 24 hours!
Katie: Wow, Jess, that's some serious mendy logic.

Strongly related to "kids say the darnest things". The kind of logical considerations one would typically expect from a young child. From a simplistic perspective they may seem rational, but usually will not hold up under a more mature or approach to reason or fact.
Example 1: Kid Logic
"Every year I get a little older and a little taller. Someone who is very old must be a giant!"
Example 2: Kid Logic
"An adult said it so it must be true!"
Example 3: Kid Logic
"Peter Pan can fly, so can I!"

1. The inability to use logic;
2. Nonsensical reasoning by an individual;
3. The byproduct of an individual saying someone is using "Fevens Logic". Commonly seen when two people are in a debate and one person lacks the intelligence to produce anything intellectual to the debate. Noob Logic can also be seen when one person has exhausted all of their mediocre efforts.
In each case, this person will immediately state that the other person is using "Fevens Logic" to insult. "Fevens Logic" is not condusive to being stubborn.
Person 1: My record is 80-5 at Cod of Duty 4.
Person 2: You're a scrub. You played against terrible teams. Your talent can only be measured by the opponents you play. You can only win by playing against terrible teams.
Person 1: Umm...well...hmm...That's Fevens Logic, for ya.
Person 2: Stop talking. You sir, are using Noob Logic.

Running two arguments side by side under different and contradictory rule sets. Especially, creating an analogy and denying that others make conclusions between them.
P1: I go through harassment from the leaders of this organization just as the Jews went through harassment from Nazi officers.
P2: You haven't as much as been placed under surveillance, let alone that kind of duress.
P1: I'm not comparing the two! I'm using parallel logic.
