I have a list of words where for every usage, I mentally deduct 10 IQ points from the user's assumed IQ. For the record, unless someone gives me proof otherwise, they all start out with an 100 because that's considered the average. And I do realize that context matters that there can be uses of these words that aren't asinine and stupid.

Anyway, the list is: Big Pharma, False Flag, Feminazi, SJW, PC, reverse anything [racism, sexism, etc.], fake news, Identity Politics, racial realist, working class

Knowing my luck I will remember more after I type this post. Some of it is kind of bizarre. There are plenty of legitimate abuses the pharmaceutical industry has committed, but people who use the phrase "Big Pharma," focus their attention on nonsense like, "They're giving us Autism via flu shots!!!11!!!" rather than, y'know, price gouging.

I also hate any use of Whataboutism. I also hate the term "classical liberalism" because its pretty much code for "I support White Supremacy, but I'm not willing to own up to it." Whenever any variations on the r-word show up, I'm pretty much like, "Well I'm done here." That goes for the -tard suffix. And no good comes from any sentence that goes "I'm not X, but..." And any argument that goes along the lines of "But free speech," isn't worth your time.
