Argumentum ad absurdum.

Some truths become a little clearer, when a bit of exaggeration is employed.

By the same token you are arguing a girl who sleeps with a few of her boyfriends during her time at college is a whore [...]

Now you are straw-manning my argument. A college girl who doesn't "trawl the streets for customers" (my original words) is NOT a whore (maybe a slut, but not a whore).

Regards,

I was using a de minimis as a contrast to your ad absurdum.
