"Would of" annoys me to no end. Which is silly because English isn't my first language and I know I make many mistakes, but would of is just... Ugh. Ick.
Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It's so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they're making is salient and sourced?
"I don't need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview."????
It's also such a tell. Like the person can't imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can't imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it's always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.

For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
Okay my bad, I do like all of these lol
"Who hurt you?"
These days, that's shorthand for "I'm an emotionally stunted liberal who is so incapable of self-reflection that anyone who disagrees with a point I have must be acting from a place of unresolved trauma". It's always felt like people-who-definitely-used-to-post-to-4chan burning extra words to get to the r-slur they so desperately want to use; but with the exact kind of plausible deniability that gets their squishy bits either hard or wet.
"Who hurt you?"
I utterly fucking despise the contextual ableistic assholery inherent to that put-down. "Teehee, the person I disagree with must have trauma that distorts their view of the world and that's LE FUNNAY and worth mockery!" 
Liberals are just unscratched fascists and this is evidence toward that statement.
'Playing Devil's advocate'.
Mostly because most people who use it do so in glaringly wrong ways.
I disagree. I play the devil's advocate every now and than just to show how biased people can get. I want to introduce some reflection into the discussion so people could at least try to see a different point of view.
