Afna. Define it as you will. Or try Syfqua. If you need any more random arrangements of letters, I'm glad to oblige.

........My first suggestion might be 'filiblustery', which could mean when ad hominem arguments catch wind and get bloated........


i must point out cav; that you mispelled 'filiblustery'; it should be 'philiblustery' indicating an imbedded love of philling the air with 'bluster'!

Wouldn't that be "corrinect"?


or how about 'corronerect' - too much Viagra! Shocked

and gives new meaning to 'bloviate' Laughing

'afna' would, of course be a variation on the term 'manyana' for something to be postponed till after one's siesta.

and 'syfqua' would refer to someones propensity for downing huge amounts of water in short order.

Anyone who uses eleemosynary correctly neither needs our help, nor is likely to profit from it.


oh yes, 'eleemosynary'; that's where the marine orphanages are maintained is it not? (can't vouch for the ethics of the 'caregivers' though!)

and........ getting back to Craven's needs; how about 'creeven'.

that's what you have just been when rebounding from a response from our 'invigilate' leader. (or should i have said 'indivigheleat' leader?)

Slotterhodge and slubberdegullion are two essential words for any debate. Carefully inserted at the appropriate time they can be quite disarming.

I think Craven could make use of the word:

Because.

For example,

I disagree because....

I think you are in correct because....

I feel this way about you/your arguments because....


History:

Portal makes a false claim with no substantiation.

I call BS on it.

Now Portal wants me to prove a negative.

Portal, you need the "because". You made a claim you need to substantiate it. This is called burden of proof.


being incorrect is different than being unsubstantiated.

Indeed, and if you get back over there you will see why I feel that a big part about being allowed to consider a theory correct is in the ability to substantiate it. And not to demand substantiation of its negative.

I think the word "dwarfy" is a good one for Craven to use, to mean circular logic. If any of you have seen the "agnostics: Do you believe in god" thread, you know exactly what I'm talking about here.

I'm fond of 'capistranic', which refers to an argument that continually and inexpicably returns to the same point.

Its simple to type, and it can mean whatever you want it to.
