Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

    Agreeing to disagree is just more polite and often nicer for both, if such agreement is reached. You’re basically saying that we can’t really convince each other of our position so let’s just leave it at that instead of trying endlessly.

      I just don’t like the phrasing because “agreeing to disagree” makes it seem like you are accepting that it’s good that they don’t agree with you. Saying literally anything else to convey what just said would make more sense.

        I don’t get that feeling at all, to me it sounds like you’ve just come to the conclusion that you shouldn’t go on with arguing.
