Sealioning is when someone repeatedly asks for evidence or demands answers without showing genuine interest in having a respectful conversation. They do this in a way that seems polite, but is actually aggressive and annoying.

Examples:

Stop sealioning me about climate change! If you want to have a real conversation, do some research first.
She was sealioning the professor during the lecture, asking question after question without actually listening to the answers.

Synonyms:
badgering, harassing, hounding, interrogating
