Hey guys. We all love to get into arguments online. I've been gettin' into it with folks on the Internet for nigh on twenty years. Of course, I started off getting owned all the time, but along the way, I picked up a few tricks of the trade. Namely, here are some vocabulary words you can use to make your posts more impressive, even if you're dumb and what you're saying is retarded. Let's get started. nigh on - This just means "almost," but "almost" doesn't impress anybody. A good word, but use sparingly. aforementioned - It doesn't matter how stupid you are, you can grasp this concept: If you mentioned something, and you're about to mention it again, then you can call it "the aforementioned." Use this word, and the person you're owning will think he's in the hot seat being destroyed by some kind of lawyer and really start to sweat. twofold - Impressive and flexible and, best of all, simple. If you're about to say something that has two parts, then throw this word out there. You can also jack up the number for more power. For example, "Your argument is fallacious, and the reasons are elevenfold." Then you have to say eleven things, though, or it doesn't work. So be careful. If you have words that'll help some of the newbies, feel free to post.

Use "whom'st" instead of "who" or "whom" to sound extra authoritative and informed.

Honky Dong Country posted:"Parse" The typical idiot, when he's gotten himself in too deep, may start panicking and say something like "What are you talking about?" Yikes. Five words, and everyone in the thread knows you're stupid. The seasoned debater knows what line to use here. It's: "I'm having trouble parsing your post." See? It means the same thing, but now everyone pictures you with a giant pulsing brain and a hand on your chin. The fault isn't with you for not understanding, now; it's with your opponent for not making clear what he's saying. A great move.

Regularly pepper in "nonplussed" using its proper definition to win friends and influence people.

If you're replying to a long post, break it up into the most parts possible. Lots of people can attack a long post paragraph by paragraph. Challenge yourself: attack sentence by sentence. Some highly skilled posters can dismantle a post phrase by phrase, and it's been spoken that there are a few who can do it word by word.

Tell someone they're acting niggardly and then get all "um, actually" when they tell you it's racist. Rub their faces in your supreme intelligence and grasp of historical English.

If your opponent simplifies your argument, stay cool. Don't start screaming, "It's not that simple, idiot!" That's what idiots say. First, call his characterization of your argument reductionist. I don't know precisely what that word means, or where it comes from, but it's an "ist" word, so it sounds concrete. It probably comes from Plato. You should also throw the word nuanced out there. So for example: Idiot: It's not that simple, idiot! Genius: This is reductionist. It's actually more nuanced than that, my friend.
