Sense（1）

A term or turn of phrase, such as a euphemism, that puts a positive or negative slant on something.

Slanters turn off those you want to convince — it's like preaching to the converted. Worse, though they may work for the moment, they don't stick. Without reinforcement, the other person will remember only the joke or jibe.
