Argumentum ad nauseam : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ad nauseam
''Ad nauseam'' is a Latin term for a discussion that has continued so long that it has continued "to (point of ) nausea".〔("ad nauseam" definitions from Dictionary.com )〕 For example, the sentence "This topic has been discussed ''ad nauseam''" signifies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it. ==Etymology== This term is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as:
''Argumentum ad nauseam'' or argument from repetition or ''argumentum ad infinitum'' is an argument made repeatedly (possibly by different people) until nobody cares to discuss it any more. This may sometimes, but not always, be a form of proof by assertion.
It is not something initially unpleasant; rather, it is something discussed to the point of being so.
