but-boxed

Whilst having an argument with a person your opponent says the words "And no buts, or ifs", and you cannot show your point without saying these words, you have been but-boxed.

This either leads to pointless arguments or the ending of one, where the but-boxed person admits defeat.

"Yeah but.."
"No ifs or buts"
