When someone is confronted by criticism, but don't want to use it as advice to improve, they pull "The Hater Card" where they'll call you or others a hater, say the phrase "Haters gonna hate" or anything involving the word "Hater" as a means to avoid the criticism.
"Hey, although it is funny, try not to repeat the joke all that much. It'll become unfunny after a couple times."
"Haters gonna hate!"
"You're just going to pull The Hater Card because you don't like what I said? Fuck off."

Get the The Hater Cardmug. Slang for a person who’s only contributions to discussions are vague, positive statements. Nobody disagrees with them because there’s nothing of substance in what they say. They prevent issues from being discussed because the only response to their feel-good cliche is a quiet head nod or other innocuous affirmation. The conversation typically fizzles out because it’s easy to look like a jackass by detracting from the positive end note in a group setting.
Someone is a genuine Greeting Card when they truly believe their vague positivity accomplished something.
Someone can cynically act like a Greeting Card when they intentionally want to close a hard conversation where they may have to deal with uncomfortable topics or discussions. Watch politicians and corporate executives do it all the time.

"I think what we can all agree on is that the children’s safety is very important to all of us." – Jim, in a meeting
"Jim always kisses ass and only says obvious shit that means nothing. We never talk about how to actually fix things. Jim is such a freaking Greeting Card!" – Jane, to a friend after the meeting

Get the Greeting Cardmug. Purposely infecting a person you strongly dislike with an infectious disease or virus, because they are derailing a structure in your life.

Get the Blox Cardsmug. A dialectic counterattack, primarily used by females when arguing with their male counterparts, in which some or all statements previously made in the conversation are retroactively labeled "feelings". This Jiu-Jitsu inspired verbal maneuver thus renders all valid points and rebuttals made by the victim moot, nay less than moot, in fact all those rebuttals have now been turned into an unprompted offensive attack. And in argument, it is the attacker who "loses" the match.
Mark: So my girl told me that I was asshole because I forgot our first anniversary yesterday. I pulled out the concert ticket from our first date which proved our anniversary is next week and said she was being rude. Then she pulled the feelings card on me, she said that regardless of when our anniversary really is, she still felt forgotten and felt like i was an asshole, and now i was a double asshole for calling her rude and stomping on her when she was already hurt. FML!
