Dragon tail sweep

The Muay Thai dragon tail sweep is a spinning low kick to your enemies' legs knocking them out from beneath them, then gravity does the rest. Since the sweep itself requires only minimal contact on a relatively lightweight part of the body, it is quite possible for the attack to follow through and hit more than one victim at once.

Phil preformed a dragon tail sweep on his daughters boyfriend before being tackled by his wife.

Sweeping Picking

The act of cherry-picking evidence from across a wide range of sources, but only selecting those singular examples that appear to support a broad, universal conclusion, thereby creating the illusion of comprehensive research. It’s a scatter-shot form of confirmation bias that uses geographic or categorical breadth to disguise its selective depth.

Example: "Her case for 'global cultural decline' was built on sweeping picking: one rude tourist in Paris, a viral video of a fight in Bangkok, and a canceled art show in New York. She'd swept the globe for anecdotes, carefully picking only the ones that fit her pre-written thesis of doom."

Sweeping Logic

Using a single logical principle or rule to explain or dismiss a vast array of complex, disparate phenomena. It’s the over-application of a neat logical model to a messy world, like trying to use only Newtonian physics to describe love, economics, and quantum mechanics.

Example: "She used sweeping logic to dismiss all activism: 'Every movement claims moral superiority. Claiming moral superiority is a psychological power play. Therefore, all activism is just about power.' She swept the unique histories, goals, and contexts of countless movements into one reductive, logical dustpan."
