Sophistry

The use of fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving.
“Trying to argue that I had benefited in any way from the disaster was pure sophistry”

From Ancient Greek σπέρμα (spérma) literally means “that which is sown,” and is used for “the seed of plants, also of animals.” Since to grow human beings the seeds of both sexes are required, the word sperm or semen actually means the sexual seed of both males and females.
