Arguing with a shampoo bottle

When arguing with someone and the other party distracts the topic by resorting to appeals of emotion, belief and other logical fallacies.
The conversation gets caught in a loop. As it reads on the back of a shampoo bottle at the end of the instructions...rinse and repeat.

"X must exist. I just saw a poll that says 90% of all Americans believe in X."

"99% of everyone once thought the world was flat. They had no evidence and were proven wrong by people who sought the truth."

"X must exist! If X did not exist, then the world would be a horrible place!"

"You'll be able to move on. Its only in your mind that X influences your life."

"I acknowledge that I have no argument for the existence of X. However, I have a great desire for X to exist. Therefore I accept that X exists."

"This is like arguing with a shampoo bottle. You're stuck in a loop of rinse and repeat."

arguing semantics

A phrase commonly used as a rebuttal in arguments, with two common meanings:

1) The person using the phrase has been subjected to a statement or argument that they don't like, but can't argue against; or

2) The person using the phrase doesn't understand the argument, or objects to or doesn't understand the use of polysyllabic words.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west? Now your just arguing semantics."

argue with your mom

A phrase used mostly by Gen Z that basically means that what you just said was such an undeniable fact that if someone disagrees they are wasting their time and should go argue with their mother.

Argue With Your Mama

A phrase used to signal that a person's stance or opinion is not up for debate. Your arguments will not change their mind, so do not attempt to argue with them.
