Cook Sourced 

When someone steals something of yours, then expects you to thank them for it.
"But honestly Monica, the web is considered "public domain" and you should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are aware of... If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally. Now it will work well for your portfolio. For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain... We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me! I never charge young writers for advice or rewriting poorly written pieces, and have many who write for me... ALWAYS for free!" -- letter to blogger Monica Gaudio over the theft of her article from the thief

Monica... ya dun been cook sourced.

Sourcedismissing

The rhetorical tactic of demanding sources from an opponent and then dismissing every single source provided, regardless of quality or relevance, without engaging with their content. The goal is not to evaluate evidence but to exhaust the opponent, create the appearance of skepticism, and avoid conceding any point. Common dismissal phrases include “that source is biased,” “that’s not peer‑reviewed,” “that’s too old,” “that’s from a partisan outlet,” or simply “I don’t accept that.” Sourcedismissing often follows moving the goalposts: the first source is dismissed, then a second, then a third, ad infinitum. It is a form of attrition argumentation.
Example: “She provided a peer‑reviewed meta‑analysis. He dismissed it as ‘funded by industry.’ She provided an independent replication. He dismissed it as ‘underpowered.’ She provided a government report. He dismissed it as ‘political.’ Sourcedismissing – he never intended to accept any evidence.”
