A casual argument, often referred to as a casual fallacy, is a reasoning error that occurs when a conclusion is drawn based on an assumed cause-and-effect relationship without sufficient evidence. It typically involves a flawed correlation between two events, suggesting that one event causes another simply because they occur together or in sequence. This type of argument undermines logical reasoning by oversimplifying complex relationships. In essence, it fails to establish a true causal link, relying instead on anecdotal or superficial connections.
In casual language, an argument usually means a verbal conflict of any kind, no matter how stupid or incoherent. Many people feel that there is an implication or anger on both sides in an argument. In logic or in academics, however, an argument is merely "a connected series of propositions intended to establish a conclusion", the process of reasoning which leads you to the point you are trying to make. A logical argument has no emotional overtones, and does not require anyone to oppose it to be an argument.
Anecdotal argument is more intimate and less formal compared to logical or empirical argument. It relies on personal experiences, stories, or examples to make a point, connecting with the audience on a more emotional level. It is often used in casual conversations or personal narratives.
To "smash someone" usually refers to defeating or dominating them in a competition, argument, or physical confrontation. It can also mean to have casual sex with someone.
