Ad hominem

Ad Hominem:  argument appealing to emotions instead of logic

I heard a mother and a daughter arguing about self hygiene the daughter was telling the mother she had no need to shower everyday because it took a few days for her body to produce an odor so showering wasn't a necessity. Her mom was trying to tell her that showering everyday was part of personal hygiene and its important that she keeps up on it and the entire time her daughter was getting defensive saying how showering every day isn't of importance this ad hominem was quite blatant but very interesting to listen to.
