I am Cornholio I need TP for My Bunghole

Circular definition
This is where you include the concept you are defining in the definition of that concept.
Butthead: Shut up, bunghole!Beavis : What's a bunghole?Butthead: A bunghole is what you are, bunghole!
Fallacy of Accident
Assuming that a generalisation will hold in every case.
Butthead: They must be cool, they're from Seattle.
Converse Fallacy of Accident(?)Making a generalisation from insufficient evidence.
Storekeeper: Hello, Maximart. We've got a robbery in progressPolice : Are they armed?Storekeeper: Er...of course they're armed. Aren't all kids armed?
Equivocation
Equivocation means many things, but is often taken to mean using a word in a different sense to that which was intended. In fact the word "equivocation" is pretty equivocal.
(Beavis, under the influence of a music video, is "dancing" on the sofa.)
Butthead: Get down, Beavis!Beavis : I am getting down!

Circular causation
A chicken and egg situation. Not always the result of faulty logic, of course - life is often like that, as Butthead demonstrates here....
Beavis : How come Tom Petty's on TV?Butthead: Coz he's famous, dumbass.Beavis : Yeah, but how come he's famous?Butthead: Coz he's on TV, buttmunch!Beavis : Yeah, but how come he's on TV?
and so on....
Beavis on the philosophy of language
Words suck.
