Oddbean new post about login | logout I told a demoncrat their policy was a slippery slope, and she said that was the slippery slope fallacy. Basically, "Just because you say it's a slippery slope doesn't mean it is." It should instead be called the "nuh-uhh" fallacy, or the "let me slide down this slope, damnit" fallacy. This is what they're teaching kids in debate class now-days.
To be fair, it's bad form to name fallacies in arguments. Unless they're funny ones like argumentum ad Hitlerum.
