The Logical Fallacy's definitions

Nazinflation

When the term "Nazi" is used to describe one's enemies so often and so easily, the definition itself becomes diluted and everyone now qualifies as a Nazi.

"There are two possibilities here: either the term 'Nazi' has been so overused in a process I call Nazinflation that the term is now meaningless, or everyone is actually a nazi. I'm glads my ideas are finally catching back up, I just wasn't expecting so many of my followers to be Slavic, or Brown, or JEWS! I'm not trying to gatekeep here, I'm just genuinely confused."
-- Nazi, jREG, "Nazi Doesn't Know Who To Support"

Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma

When you aren't sure if you should listen to the criticisms and opinions of the professional few (critics, analysts and your teachers) or the unprofessional many (fans, peers and the general public).

The ole' Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma: should I listen to the critics who know what they're talking about and have learned advice, or the crowd of people that like what I've made warts and all?
