A word or phrase that runs through your head repeatedly, much like the musical 'earworm'.
After reading the line 'let's have a little talk about tweetle beetles' from Fox in Socks by Dr Suess, I said to my friend, 'That's going to be my wordworm today.'

Wordyworm 

Someone who diverts attention from the core point in an argument by taking offence or paying excessive attention to the individual words used.

It's similar to the strawman fallacy.

This tactic is quite effective in that the person making the original point becomes distracted and usually ends up forgetting or relinquishing their core argument because they end up addressing the wordworm's objections.
Protagonist:, I think you need to understand why I'm feeling a little upset about (insert issue here). Can you allow me to explain?
Wordyworm: What? you're saying I'm stupid? That I don't understand?

Him: why do you say that?
Me: Well there is no friends part, it's just really hot sex. He is really good at anal.

Him: Oh you guys are just sportfucking.

Him: From the wordworkers on Urban Dictionary.
Me: that slang is really funny and indecent!
Him: I think that the point.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
