Conserv-absurd

A Conserv-absurd is an argument that provides poor reasoning in support of its conclusion. Conserv-absurds differ from other bad arguments in that right-wing people find these psychologically persuasive, and therefore mistakenly believe its conclusion to be true even though it’s false.

Examples of “If P then Q” Conserv-absurds:
“If you don’t support the war, you don’t support the troops.”
“If we fight them over there, we won’t have to fight them here.”

Frequently such illogical sound bites are made into bumper stickers, and the false information will be distributed via email (to catapult the propapoop). More recently this trend has increased among social conservatives.

For example, infidelity is okay IF:
1. You don’t do it in your office. If you have extramarital sex elsewhere like an airport restroom or another country, then it’s okay, even when done at the taxpayer’s or company’s expense.
2. There is reconciliation with your spouse, no matter how much you really hate each other. Especially when there are kids, no matter how much you fight in front of them. It’s better to pretend you have "family values" than to have family well-being.
3. You ask forgiveness, though you don’t regret cheating--just getting busted. It has nothing to do with merit, but rather the appearance of repentance.
4. You do it because you’re fed up with Obama.

Antonym - constipational

There they go again trying to blame everything on the “liberal media.” But Conserv-absurds are the real reason the country is going down the toilet!

theater of the absurd

Plays that veer away from the traditional convevtions of characterization, setting, and plot. Often referred to as modernist literature.

Many believe that Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" paved the way for the theater of the absurd.

Absurd Bird

A hand gesture in which one hooks both thumbs together and flaps their fingers like a bird's wings. Like its cousins awkward turtle and tmi turtkey, absurd bird is meant to show just how absurd a situation is. The more absurd the situation, the higher absurd bird flies.

Twilight Fan: Have you read Breaking Dawn yet?!

Random Guy: Yeah, absurd bird was flyin' high the whole time.

Absurd

"absurd" with a capital A, the term Camus uses for when our human need for meaning meets the silent universe that's like, ‘new phone, who dis?’

Have you ever noticed the pronunciation of "Absurd" is more absurd than its meaning?

Skeptically Absurd

When one is only skeptical of information that contradicts a preformed opinion and openly accepts any and all aligned information, regardless of legitimacy or source, and openly rejects contradictory information that cannot be proven to be true when judged against an ever-changing ad-hoc burden of proof

Joe is so skeptically absurd into the deep state that he anything anyone brings to the table he rejects. He’s is the head of skeptically absurdism.
