“Try Again”: 59 Of The Most Brutally Clever Comebacks We Can All Take Notes From (New Pics)
Many people get away with dropping ill-advised comments on the internet. But from time to time, you will have one person who humbles them with the perfect clapback that isn’t easy to forget, let alone recover from.
The following screenshots show what that perfect response looks like. It doesn’t have to be downright insulting, but just enough to deliver a burn sick enough to require some ointment.
If delivering the perfect response is something you want to work on, perhaps you can learn a thing or two by scrolling through this list.

Receiving negative comments is inevitable for anyone who has gained recognition online. And while taking them personally may be a knee-jerk reaction, you can also look at them as a positive.
PenFed Credit Union Chief Marketing Officer Gaurav Bhatia even went as far as saying that criticisms should be perceived as a gift.
As Bhatia tells Forbes, people who take the time to respond, regardless of their tone, typically care or are, at the very least, interested in what you have to say. Therefore, listening to their feedback is the least we could do.
But since this article is all about crafting the perfect comeback, let’s shift our focus to that. One way to deliver that ultimate clapback is to not think too much about what you’re going to say.
As comedy teacher and improv consultant Belina Raffy tells Mental Floss, “You’re taking yourself out of unfolding reality if you think too much.”

Have you even read the bible Kevin? If you [harm] a lady, you pay to their father or husband. They were not equal, they were property..
Many of us strive for “perfection” when it comes to delivering the knockout punch of a response, and we tend to criticize ourselves too much. To silence that inner critic, experts advise against thinking and just shooting from the hip.
“In the heat of the battle, you just go for it,” freestyle rapper Lex Rush said in the same Mental Floss interview, noting how dropping rhymes on the mic is like a “stream of consciousness” where she has very little control over what she is saying.

Letting that frontal lobe to fully mature sounds like a good thing too!
Quickness is also key to delivering the ultimate comeback. Sure, it’s not as imperative as it is when crafting a perfect response in real time, face-to-face. But as social media expert Scott Talan states, “speed is integral to wit.”
“If you’re trying to be witty and have that reputation, then speed will help you,” he said.

Ooh, yes. My husband is only just starting to get this too. He agreed that of course a friend of our daughter's could come over after school in 20 minutes. He went back to work. I had to stop work, hoover, clean up and tidy (I'm working two jobs, day and night atm) and be there to answer the door, provide snacks, check they had their hats, scarves, gloves when they went out and that the friend had everything with her when she left after arranging a pick-up time with the mum. My husband would say it was not necessary to hoover and clean up but he's not the one that bears the social penalty for such things - it has been proven time and again that women bear the social penalty for an untidy/dirty home.

That could have been said about the average German under Hitler, too. Nobody made excuses for them. And yes, if you ignore warnings from all over the world and don't work on the problem while it's small, solving it later might be painful. Americans also could support each other, or ask us for help.

Keep up that line of thinking and your wish will be fulfilled. Once again, a benefit that has existed for 90 years is in trouble by those who refuse to fight and do not grasp the concept a 401k can be halved overnight, but Social Security even if reduced, would still be there. But then that would require effort to hold your elected Rep accountable to your expectations. BTW, at 30...Social Security Disability is more worth it than me at 63.

I got my wife a new XPS laptop for Christmas. It has a dedicated Copilot button where the right control key used to be. First thing I looked up was how to disable or remind it. Remember the bixby button that Samsung force fed down everyone's throats? Yeah, the Microsoft button should do the same and disappear
