Chinese Dog Paddle

When a person is doing their partner from behind, goes to slap their partner's ass, misses, and strikes them on the back of the head instead.

Bro, it was awful. I was having such a good time that I went for an ass slap and ended with a Chinese Dog Paddle. ...Hey, bro, where you going?

Om Paddle

A man whose family comes from Gujarat and is very direct with his words and advice, but it all comes from a place of love no matter how insulting it may sound. Om Paddle, as a Gujarat, is extremely cost-efficient with his funds, making sure no bit of currency is wasted. A very dedicated man who will pursue his goals without letting anything get in his way or distract him. Paddle is also very good at playing mobile games and loves the homies' meats.

Person 1: Have you seen Om Paddle?
Person 2: Yeah, he was negotiating with a sales rep over the last dollars of a down payment for his car.

Ping-pong Paddle Fallacy

The act of accusing someone of turning a debate into a pointless back-and-forth ("ping-pong") by merely responding to their points, thereby framing any defense or counter-argument as proof of their own unproductivity. It’s a meta-critique that tries to invalidate engagement itself, suggesting that by playing the game (using the "paddle"), you are automatically proving the opponent's point that the discussion is futile or cyclical. This fallacy seeks a cheap win by declaring the act of arguing to be the losing move.

Example: In a debate about movie preferences, Person A says, "Modern CGI is soulless." Person B offers counter-examples of expressive CGI. Person A retorts, "Stop swinging the ping-pong paddle fallacy—you're just proving my point that fanboys will defend anything by arguing endlessly." Here, the very act of offering a rebuttal is twisted into evidence of blind fandom, shutting down the exchange.
