I learnt the best term EVER from Boris Johnson - ignoratio elenchi. Been DYING to use it in a sentence for quite some time. And yesterday I learnt that a fish story is an exaggerated story.

And yes I do watch Louis Theroux sometimes.

this thread is like trying to decode a 5 year old's nursery diary


but oh yeah i love a bit of old Louis.

Actually, habitual means you can't stop, not having no shame, it just so happens that those degenerates in the prison/jail system are shameless and habitual.

And yes, I love Theroux's gonzo docs.

Yes I knew about this, I just called it "being a teenager" though.

I watched the religion thing he did but not the prison one

You mean by being a teenager you are shameless or a chronic *removed* ?

Ignoratio elenchi (also known as irrelevant conclusion or irrelevant thesis) is the informal fallacy of presenting an argument that may in itself be valid, but does not address the issue in question.

ignoratio elenchi
1. a purported refutation of a proposition that does not in fact prove it false but merely establishes a related but strictly irrelevant proposition
2. the fallacy of arguing in this way

Here is Boris using it in action! (Skip to 0:37)

"I hesitate to accuse you of ignoratio elenchi."

LOL gets me every time!
