Definitions and meanings of "Eristics"

What do we mean by eristics?

One who makes specious arguments; one who is disputatious.

A type of dialogue or argument where the participants do not have any reasonable goal. The aim is to argue for the sake of conflict, and often to see who can yell the loudest.

A kind of contentious reasoning that seeks to appear victorious in disputation, without regard for truth. It is distinguished from sophistic because it is not concerned with appearing wise, only with seeming victorious in disputation. Urban Dictionary

Erist is just a suffix, it can be added onto words to create the best. Urban Dictionary

An Erister egg is a plastic egg into which something unexpected, particularly an odd or surprising message, is placed. It is then hidden to be found much as Easter eggs. But in an Erister Egg Hunt, or EggGASM, the egg finders usually don't know they're participating. They think they're finding normal Easter eggs. The concept was first proposed to Discordians online by Pinky McFatfat of Dublin 11 days before Easter in 2008. Professor Cramulus named it EggGASM, and the Mythics of Harmonia (Princess Unicornia, Fairy Princess Yoshikyoko, Nurse Eggscream and others) named it Erister Egg Hunt. ("Erister" is a combination of "Easter" and the Goddess Discordia or "Eris"). Items that were hidden in plastic eggs that first year included odd quotes, one line meme bombs, a small doll's arm, a pair of black thong panties, a condom, and even a genuine Purple Heart medal. Messages were often included in an egg with a small toy. Erister Egg Hunt/EggGASM is a part of Operation Mindfuck. Getting others involved is a part of OMGASM. Urban Dictionary
