People fight all the time, but not everyone does it with fists. Some draw the line earlier and use only their words. However, don't underestimate the damage they can inflict.

To show you that words can hurt just as much and, in many cases, even more than punches, we collected a list of the most brutal roasts we found online.

It's always impressive to meet a person who seems to find the perfect phrase to express themselves, and when they do it so quickly and accurately, it leaves absolutely no chance for a comeback.
