Effective Argument Style
At the conclusion of an impassioned speech, add the phrase ÒQ.E.D. bi-atch!Ó
Yesterday at lunch, Margaret demonstrated this highly effective argument style that adds finality to an argument and asserts the domination of the victor.
Q.E.D. is a Latin abbreviation for Quod Erat Demonstrandum [which was to be demonstrated]. It is most often found at the conclusion of mathematical or logical proofs. The juxtaposition of a dead language and adolescent slang demonstrates you have dexterity with language and a flare for rhetorical style. You interlocutor will be intimidated and your audience beguiled. Use it often.

“reductio ad absurdum!!!” works well too i feel. the “bi-atch” is optional.

In college, my roommates and I found that saying, “Your chin is my ballrest” will end any argument. There’s just no come-back to that.

I prefer “Q. E. F-in’ D!”
