Kal v'Chomer

An a fortiori argument used in the study of Gemara. Inferring a smaller claim from an already proved stronger one.

"If you were able to eat eight pieces of herring, three pieces of kugel, and two bowls of chulent at the kiddush last week, kal v'chomer, you can eat just five pieces of herring, a slice of kugel, and one bowl of chulent this week."

"If Rueven got sucked off by that chick from Prospect Park, then kal v'chomer he could totally get with that whore from Shulamis."
