It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.
Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

Oh, Fark, again? People, learn the proper usage!
Begging the Question [wikipedia.org] is NOT to "raise a question" [dailywritingtips.com], as much as you may think you are being erudite by using a turn of phrase you might have heard educated persons using, but do not quite actually understand.
Do not do this again, or I will mock you endlessly. Locked AND loaded. Lock comes first. But it could be Something of a Damp Squid [telegraph.co.uk]. Yes, squid are most always damp, being sea creatures and what not. But English, being sometimes put on a Pedal Stool [youtube.com], not always a blind spot, a paragon of virtue. What's a squib?

It was meant in jest.
