Not the use you are looking for, but one of the most interesting and useful terms is [meta arguing](https://www.barrywinbolt.com/the-meta-argument/). Its when you are arguing about they way which you and the other side are arguing.
Its that point in an argument, when people stop caring about the topic of the argument. You will start hearing phrases like “I already told you”, “you are too stupid to get it” or “you always do this”. At that point you are arguing to “win an argument” instead of trying to resolve the issue.
You should never take part in meta arguing. Nothing good can come from it. If you dont care about the person, just leave the argument (for example arguing about something on reddit). If its somebody you care about you should deescalate and refocus on the issue.
