It sounds like nausea; like you get when you're intoxicated and the room starts swimming--your faculties try to make sense of what's happening, and fail.
Which one sounds like nausea? I've never had that strong a reaction to a bad argument.
Does the phrase, "The stupid; it hurts" feel appropriate? It's as if to understand someone's line of thought you have to mutilate your own thought processes, and it's like hearing a truly terrible joke tenfold.
It's too unspecific. I'm exploring how recognizing good and bad logic interacts with people's sensory experience, and no one's reporting a burning sensation so far.
Your quote is a joke about the intensity of the experience, not the specific quality.
What this post is doing is starting on applying reductionism to "The stupid, it hurts." That's way cool.
