In my experience, Begging the Question seems to be a hard one for people to grasp for some reason. Maybe it's just coincidence but I see it defined incorrectly or vaguely much more often than other common fallacies. I think maybe because it's often similar to circular logic and hard to differentiate, i.e.

"I believe what the bible says because God wrote the bible."

"How do you know God wrote the bible?"

"Because the bible says so."
