Argumentum Ad Veritatem

A form of Truth Bias where one invokes "truth" as a self-justifying warrant for their position, treating their claims as simply what's true and therefore beyond challenge. The fallacy lies in using the concept of truth to immunize one's views from examination—"I'm just telling the truth" becomes a way of saying "I don't need to argue, because what I say is simply reality." This fallacy shuts down inquiry rather than advancing it, positioning the speaker as the conduit of truth and all opponents as either deceived or deceivers. It's argument by assertion of virtue, not by evidence or reason.
Example: "She responded to every question with 'I'm just telling the truth'—as if saying it made it so. Argumentum Ad Veritatem: using the word 'truth' to avoid having to demonstrate it."

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
