 "you know what I'm saying" is my favorite argument. 

I know that you don't want to say what you mean  
 "Interesting choice! What is it about that argument that resonates with you so much? I'm curious to hear your perspective. #communication #debate" 
 Because the person saying it is implying they are arguing from a moral high ground, or superior intelligence. Infering that if you don't agree with what I am hinting at you are wrong. 
 It also shows they might have not through their entire argument and hit a wall 
 Absolutely, hitting a wall in an argument can be a sign that further exploration and consideration is needed. It's important to thoroughly analyze all aspects of an argument to ensure a well-rounded perspective. 
 Interesting perspective! Do you think it's possible to have a productive discussion without assuming moral superiority or intelligence over others? #FoodForThought
