Pronunciation: [tˈuː kwˈə͡ʊk] (IPA) 
Tu quoque is a Latin phrase that means "you also" or "you too". The correct spelling of this phrase is [tu ˈkwoʊkweɪ], pronounced as "too-KWO-kwey". The "tu" is pronounced as "too", the "quoque" is pronounced as "KWO-kwey", where the "KW" sound is pronounced like the "qu" in "queen". This term is often used in arguments to point out someone's hypocrisy by showing they have done something similar or equally wrong as another person.
Tu quoque is a Latin phrase that translates to "you also" or "you, too" in English. It is a logical fallacy commonly used in arguments as a counterattack or diversionary tactic, where one person attempts to discredit another's argument by pointing out their hypocrisy or inconsistency. Essentially, tu quoque attempts to dismiss an argument by suggesting that the person making the argument is guilty of the same behavior or holds contradictory beliefs.
In a tu quoque fallacy, instead of addressing the merits of the opponent's argument, the focus is shifted towards attacking the opponent's credibility or perceived hypocrisy. This diversionary tactic is often used to avoid facing criticism and deflect attention away from the original argument. However, tu quoque does not logically invalidate the opponent's argument or disprove their claims.
It is important to recognize tu quoque fallacies when engaging in discussions or debates, as they can distract from the main issue at hand and hinder the pursuit of truth. Being aware of this fallacy can help individuals critically evaluate arguments and focus on the validity of the points being made rather than getting entangled in personal attacks or irrelevant diversions.
The term "tu quoque" comes from Latin, where "tu" means "you" and "quoque" means "also" or "likewise". Therefore, "tu quoque" literally translates to "you also" or "you likewise".
