The Catchy fallacy name fallacy is an argument by assertion in which an attempt is made to refute an argument simply by citing the name of a fallacy, without any further explanation. This isn’t strictly a logical fallacy but it’s poor arguing. This risks falling into expecting skeptic jargon to be understood by all, and you may have problems if the fallacy referred to is not actually present in the argument, making the attempted refutation itself fallacious. Take the time to explain why the particular argument is fallacious. (Unless you're attempting to answer a Gish gallop in real time.)
