    Heh heh. Got that one. Had to think for a minute or so, though.

    Anyway, just for the record, I was specifically talking about things like
    "ad hominem" - i.e., all those terms for supposedly bad arguments. Like
    "ad populem" (Or however you spell it...) and so on.

    Basically, I am saying that when someone uses the term "ad hominem", they
    are conceding that they have lost the argument.

    Wait, isn't that "ad hit"? (adolf hitlerum)

    I don't know what that means.
