Post hoc, ergo propter istud! "After this, thus because of THAT!"

Ad turturem. "Appeal to the turtle-dove."

Ad virem psittacorum. "Appeal to the strength of parrots."

Ad inopea populis. "Appeal to the lack of majority."

Ad nihilum. "Appeal to nothingness."

Ad aware. "Appeal to crappy software."

Ego non sequor illud. "I don't follow that."
