Fallacies of definition

A fallacy of definition is when someone uses words in a way that does not make sense. It is like trying to make a puzzle with pieces that do not fit together. For example, let's say someone says, "Cats can fly". That would be a fallacy of definition because cats can not fly. It's like trying to make a puzzle with a triangle piece in a square hole. It just doesn't fit.
