The act of claiming to be offended by an event that did not attack, belittle or demean any group or person. Taking the misguided idea that no one should say anything that might offend another, in an over -the-top nonsensical way.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Don't you mean, Happy Holidays!?"
"Whoa, calm down, didn't mean to send you off on an offence-tantrum now."

A tactic uses by people who are losing an argument to try to be the victim and gain support of others.

A simple debate went wrong when the guy used an offence plea to gain support.
