arguendo

Read a random definition: Commission of Fine Arts

A quick definition of arguendo:

Arguendo: A fancy Latin word that means "for the sake of argument". It's when someone says something just to make a point, even if they don't really believe it. Judges use this word a lot when they want to explain that even if someone's argument is right, it doesn't mean they will win the case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Arguendo is a Latin term that means "for the sake of argument." It is used when someone assumes a statement to be true for the purpose of argument, even if they do not believe it to be true.

For example, a lawyer might say "arguendo, let's assume that my client is guilty" in order to make a point in court, even if they do not actually believe their client is guilty.

The term is often used in legal contexts, particularly in court opinions. A judge might use the term to acknowledge a party's argument, but still rule against them.

@jackfrost11770: did u call yet
I don't like Kira interviews bc it just feels like talking to myself too much
Not worried, just annoyed
See I talk to myself so much it doesn’t phase me lmao but I understand why people dislike them. It feels super impersonal
well that's mainly it, I thrive off of reading people on the other end of the convo you know
