Line 46:
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Unfortunately.
* [[Acme Products]]: Acme was a fairly common name for companies at one time, as it would put them at or near the beginning of the listings in the phone book. It helped that the word means "the best".
** There still exists a supermarket chain on the East Coast of the United States called "Acme".
* [[Acquired Situational Narcissism]]: An actual DSM defined personality disorder that develops in some people who acquire fame or notoriety.
* [[Acrofatic]]: Sumo wrestlers. Many technical pro-wrestlers qualify too.
Line 64 ⟶ 65:
* [[Alcohol Hic]]: That said, it's not the surest way to tell if someone is drunk - sober people can get hiccups just as easily.
* [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy]]: Alcohol is well known for its ability to decrease intellectual capacity while lowering inhibitions.
* [[Alcohol Is Poison]]: Alcohol is toxic to humans, but for most adult humans, in amounts well below the LD 50LD50, the "poisoning" produces enjoyable effects and no lasting damage. Once one gets near the LD 50LD50, one can die or be permanently sickened. In pregnant women and in children, the damage can occur much faster - causing fetal alcohol syndrome or death. Same for pets. And chronic overuse even below the LD 50LD50 can lead to lasting and permanent illness or even cancer.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Chances are, you've either owned one, or you're too young to drive.
* [[All-Natural Snake Oil]]: "All natural" can refer to many things, from the beneficial to the deadly, and is a form of the [[Appeal to Nature]] fallacy.
