Big Brassy Comebacks That Filled People's Pants With Wit


To slam or to be slammed? That is the question. The internet might be a place of cruelty, misinformation, bad takes and high profile court hearings, but it's also a realm of terrifically snappy comebacks. Comebacks so slick that they could silence the hinges of a squealing graveyard gate hinge. Clapbacks so percussive that Slipknot would only need one of them on drums. And burns so hot and spicy that they are only offered off-menu at Thai places. They're good comebacks.

It's a good reminder that to win an argument, you don't even really need to make a good point. You can get surprisingly far in life simply by thinking of novel ways to say that someone's mom makes her living on the docks, getting to know sailors the way a seagull eats an éclair.

For more great examples of the fringes of human creativity, here are some rare insults that left people uniquely destroyed.
