Argument Phrases You Hate!

DH & I don’t argue half as much as we used to but had a humdinger today ( probably not helped by DD’s attitude, mess everywhere & generally being fed up with lockdown). Anyway, if I go on, he will say that I’m “ banging my gums together” & that enrages me! I had a real go at him about it today & said it’s disrespectful & could well be interpreted as misogynistic. He replied that he does respect me but when he’s pissed off, stuff comes out that wouldn’t normally. Are there any phrases that you hate in an argument?

I also get the 'I'm terribly fucking sorry' that a previous poster gets.

'My point is....' Yes I know what your point is because you have repeated it over and over in the last 20 minutes in the hope that I will finally give in and agree.

Not gonna happen you twat.

@prrtnyao

When I was growing up I couldn't bear my father, who's not as smart as he thinks he is, saying "really?" in that sort of sarcastic, rising intonation.

Fucking can't abide that.

Urgh, my ex did this. So dismissive and, yep, thought it made him look really clever. Only thing you can reply is 'yes, really'. Gets you nowhere and designed to make you look ridiculous to carry on with the discussion.
