Thought-terminating cliché
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A9
A thought-terminating cliché (also known as a semantic stop-sign, a thought-stopper, bumper sticker logic, or cliché thinking) is a form of loaded language, often passing as folk wisdom, intended to end an argument and quell cognitive dissonance. Its function is to stop an argument from proceeding further, ending the debate with a cliché rather than a point.
Unlikely. As the saying goes: "once you go flat, you never go back", kinda like Santa.
