Do you know what a 'false dichotomy' is without looking it up on Google?

Absolutely. A dichotomy is a choice. A trichotomy is a three-way choice.

When someone presents a false choice, they are attempting to confuse you and to produce the answer that they want you to give. The old Groucho Marx staple "Do you still beat your wife?" is a false dichotomy, presenting the choices (1) - Yes, I still beat my wife, or (2), No, I no longer beat my wife. Either way, you're a self-confessed wife-beater.

Atheists have presented false dichotomies and trichotomies since the time of the ancient Greeks. Many of them still recycle the old Epicurus Problem of Evil and the Euthyphro Dilemma, both of which are examples of these. Either the atheists that present them think they are valid (and are thus not astute enough to understand that they are false dichotomies and trichotomies) or they know they are false and yet present them anyway, being intellectually dishonest.

Yeah I do. It's an easy to counter politically right wing arguments because they usually involve false dichotomies.

Yes

Its when you are presented with two choices that are claimed to be the only two choices in a matter, when in reality the matter is not black and white as the presenter claims it to be.

Yep. Its when you make an argument based on two choices, but they aren't the only options which makes the argument pointless.

A seemingly irreconcilable contradiction?

Yep... It's something like "if something isn't blue, then it must be orange" or "you can either believe exactly what I believe, or you can go to Hell".

Of course.

And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known;

26 And inasmuch as they sought wisdom they might be instructed;

27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be chastened, that they might repent;

28 And inasmuch as they were humble they might be made strong, and blessed from on high, and receive knowledge from time to time.

yes ...
