"I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you provide statistics?" ROFLMAO. You might want to check out "killer phrases" (known in the business world) and the related idea of thought-terminating clichés. Here's a categorization of the former by one Meike Müller:

1. Attack: personal attacks (example: "that's so typical of you!")
2. Authority: based on intimidation and superiority (example: "how often do I need to tell you, stop it!")
3. Inertia: prevent change (example: "we always did it this way").
4. Postpone: delay some issue and thus make it go away (example: "this is not the right time").
5. Smartalec: based on feeling smarter (example: "I know how this will end").
6. Worrier: a bit like concern trolling (example: "it's better not to do this, it might go wrong").
