Heard a guy respond to another guy calling him a motherfucker with ‘yeah, but your mom didn’t complain much’, so it got me thinking. What are your best comebacks for the common insults you hear from time to time?

    “Well, I guess you’re no longer invited to my birthday party.”

    Said to a random person, it confuses the hell out of them.

    “I didn’t realise the circus was in town!”

    “Were your parents siblings, or was it just a lot of head trauma?”

    “I’d tell you to read the room, but we both know reading isn’t your strong suite.”

    “What other tricks can you do?”

    If someone calls you fat.

    Ya I’m fat but I can lose weight. The hell are you going to do with that face.

    No one insults me, so these aren’t field tested.

    “Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called and they’re running out of you.”

    “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”

    “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

    “What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

    Excuse me, did you mean to say that out loud?

    and

    Insecure much?

    I think in general, sometimes a glittering beautiful so sharp it cuts to the bone comeback just comes to mind, and sometimes it doesn’t, so it’s good to remember that what people say, says more about them personally than the person they are talking about.
