Diasyrmus (di’-a-syrm-os): Rejecting an argument through ridiculous comparison.
Your threats are as empty your soul, your imagination, and outer space. Yelling “Conspiracy” every time somebody disagrees with you or catches you doing something marginally legal or massively unethical is like an 8-year-old boy who peed his pants claiming his pants are out to get him and are trying to make him look bad.
It’s not your pants fatso! It’s you!
