but in a more everyday manner. like when
-trying to shove away when someone gets annoying
-when somethings borthering someone and you try to say something nice but you really dont care
- ********0

if you say something to shut them up, you're simply appeasing them.

i think dismissive is right.
not really appeasing cus you really dont care.
- SteveJobs0
appease: To pacify or attempt to pacify (an enemy) by granting concessions, often at the expense of principle.
dismissive: Showing indifference or disregard
maybe...
