Overused Catch Phrases to win arguments

[RedDenver]

Do not

There is no try.

[Landlord]

The differences in interactions with knapp v christians in this thread has nothing to do with faith. It has to do with many having a general demeanor of, "Can you explain that?" and, "I can see where you're coming from on that.", vs, "If you didn't understand that's your fault" and "What do you think I meant?" and "Nobody has answered my question. Why is yours more important?"

[knapplc]

I will remember that the next time we discuss religion.

[Moiraine]

Not used in arguments but:

 

"[This] is everything."

 

It's applied to lots of things that aren't all the things.

[Making Chimichangas]

Someone, sorry can't remember who, already covered Triggered.

 

Cuck. Short for cuckold

 

This word was, I think, put into the vernacular by alt-right internet trolls to describe liberal males, who they think:

aren't "real" men

support feminists and/or feminism

can't please a woman because they're too sensitive

are pathetic because they believe women to be equal

​SJW. Social Justice Warrior

 

​This phrase is used derisively to insult anyone who believes that nobody should be discriminated against.

It is also used to describe feminists, gay activists, or anyone who condemns the alt-right as racist bigots.

Also it is used frequently with the word bullsh**

[Moiraine]

[Danny Bateman]

This isn't necessarily an idiom that one would use to win an argument, but it's still one I want to take out behind the toolshed and beat the tar out of whenever I see it.

 

"Legislative win/victory"

oops posted before i saw the "to win and argument part" 

[Guy Chamberlin]

I think "my overwhelming evidence" vs. "your willful stupidity" may come off as condescending, especially when I'm right.

I would like to add:

 

7.  ”Enjoy!”

8.  ”Jobs!”

9.  ”I’m not the puppet you’re the puppet”.  (Actually thats my favorite stupid response to anything.  I love it.)

[RedDenver]

"That doesn't 100% prove it." Ignores the fact that we live in a world with uncertainty, so no practical situation can ever be 100% proven, only abstract concepts without uncertainty. Evidence-based reasoning can "prove" something even if there's still a tiny bit of doubt.

Have I said "divisive" yet?

I have  a FB friend who tells everyone to stop being divisive because it's ruining our country, in response to anyone saying anything negative at all about Trump or posting about any of his words or actions.

[zoogs]

Well, you gotta be willing to compromise, and there's not enough of that on both sides, Moiraine. 

[Danimal]

White supremacist, hell freaking Ben Carson has been called one. Keep it to people that have actually espoused racial superiority.  What's funny is that many of the people that just throw it around are quite racist themselves. 

 

Phobic, it's means an irrational hate or aversion. It does not apply to somebody that just said something that doesn't fit your world-view. 

 

Bashing another's ideological  circlejerk of a source then citing your own ideological circlejerk of a source. Breitbart and Salon are both garbage.

 

Fascist. The essence of fascism is authoritarianism and that can be found with different rationales on either political side. If you are opposing free-speech then you are the fascist.

 

Generally anything that gets down to throwing an identity-politics label on somebody. Identity politics(of both the left and right variety) is a massive magnet for loser-types that have to try to ad-hominem their way out of a debate/argument.
