| Find good examples that are easy to understand and absurd enough to stick in your head. For example (ha) the fallacy of composition Wikipedia page has a good one[0]: > "This tire is made of rubber, therefore the vehicle of which it is a part is also made of rubber." The fallacy of division page[1] also has a good one: > 1. The second grade in Jefferson elementary eats a lot of ice cream > 2. Carlos is a second-grader in Jefferson elementary > 3. Therefore, Carlos eats a lot of ice cream You can also categorise large numbers of common fallacies, for instance fallacies of relevance, and then - which is the larger point about fallacies - you don't need to know which exact fallacy someone has committed (they don't care, for one) but you know it's fallacious because what their argument relies upon is irrelevant.
