Philosophy has now added some fun, rude items to its lexicon:
Asshole – (Coateian) A person who insists interactions happen on their terms.
Bullshit – (Frankfurtian) Attempts to persuade without regard for truth; (Cohenian) Unclarifiable unclarity
Jerk – A person who culpably fails to appreciate the perspective of others.
Troll – One hwho purports to be a member of a group, but instead seeks to destroy it.

I asked my students for more. Here is what they came up with:
Philosophical Cucking – See ragebaiting
Dumbo – A person who acts confident, but has no content
Glazing – Exaggerated or over the top compliments.
Ragebaiting – purposefully saying or doing things that will cause a reaction as people try to correct you. Jerky.
Schrödinger’s Douchebag – A person who is advocating a douchy position, but hiding behind ‘just asking questions,’ ‘playing devil’s advocate,’ or irony in order to avoid being called out.
X-pilled – (e.g. bluepilled, redpilled, blackpilled) dismissing or otherizing entire groups of people.
