Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

    Agree to disagree is for things like “what ice cream flavor is best”, not for things like “2+2=4”.

      I have found that the issue is often that people tend to not realize they’re arguing that 2+2=6, they think they’re arguing what ice cream flavor is the best

        This is exactly the sort of argument that I was thinking of when I wrote the comment. We can agree to disagree on the best ice cream flavor, because everyone has different tastes. We cannot agree to disagree on whether the earth is flat, because it’s not and we have overwhelming proof that it isn’t.
