You know the feeling. You get into an argument with someone, the two of you are going at each other back and forth, and they get you so riled up that you suddenly can't think of a good comeback until long after the fight is over.
There's actually a French term for this called l'esprit de l'escalier. It describes the feeling you get when you come up with the perfect reply after the fact.
We've all been there. It's devastating.
So let's take a moment and pay our respects to and celebrate the really good comebacks—the ultimate expressions of wit and cleverness. Taken from the appropriately titled subreddit r/MurderedByWords, here are some of the best ways people have ended their disagreements.

Deutscher Patriotismus vs. American Patriotism
"Educate Your Self"
Say it louder for the ones in the back. Not that they listen to sense.
That’s A Stupid Reason To Ban Transgender People
What does being transgender have to do with trust. Makes no sense to me.
Anti Vaxxer Pretends To Be Educated
And polio, measles, pneumonia, diptheria, influenza? Oh and that pesky Bubonic Plague. A healthy gut sure worked there.
Just Try Not Being Straight For Awhile
I remember this from a few weeks ago! After all, ii did say I wanted to, given its a brilliant comeback :D

Bye Bye Trash!!
He himself is both a boob and an ass. If he can find a like minded friend they'd make an interesting pair 😂
Waddaya Say, Then?
Honestly, You're Not Important Enough To Be Microchipped
"I Don’t Understand Marches"
Your Bigotry Is Showing
Stuff like this also shows how mentally stuck in the past conservatives are. They honestly think scenes like this will actually scare people as much it scares them.
America, F**k Yeah!
It's sad that someone let alone a child needs to do this. This is a government and school funding issue.

$10 To Clean The Bathroom?!
7 out of ten dollars? Smh is that really what they think? I pay around 19-21% and get a lot of it back in tax credits. Do you think it's the 'ism' that makes ppl think socialism is communism? We could always try calling it socialocracy
Let's Blame Children's Knees For Making Men Uncomfortable
Do they not filter out the weirdos who apply to be teachers? Or are they just good at hiding it?
God Is A White Man
Funny, I've read the Bible many times, and have yet to come across the chapter and verse where God mandates that white men be in the majority. Anyone?
America Was Not Started By Protestors!
Who Knows What They Put In "Food" Anyway?
I heard he apparently was breathing air in those two weeks, so hold ur breath and I'll get back to u asap....
That's not all! I heard a rumor that he may have been wearing clothes right up to the moment he died! That' can't be a coincidence!
Load More Replies...He was 99 years old. At that age there is no unexpected death, you know your time is running out soon-ish.
Yeah, it's more like "unexpectedly still alive" at that age.
Load More Replies...Beware of the water! He was made up of about 70% water when he died plus he had been drinking it!
And he was also 99 when he died (a couple months shy of 100 years old). So be careful of numbers—-the really big ones will kill you.
They also said he was having issues with is heart, were 99 yrs old (some months until turning 100) and had lived a long and full life. Rip Prince Philip <3
It is not a vaccine that protect against death! So statistically some people will die shortly after recieving the vaccine. In fact since we are currently vacinnating the people who are most likely to die if infected by covid, beacause they are the weakest, we are likely to se more vacinated people dying than non vacinated people. But concluding that it is the vaccine that killed them, just demonstrates that you do not understand the correlation between different factors. They very likely to die soon, vaccine or not. It is third factor (vulnerability) that causes the correlation, not the vacine causing the death. Always be carefull with drawing conclusions based on statics and anecdotal evidens.
I also heard that he regularly consumed dihydrous monoxide!! In fact everything that's ever consumed it has died, and it's in all of our food and beverages!!
The fact he was 99 with a heart condition definitely didn’t contribute
Unexpectedly while having been sick for a while, at age... let me check, let me check... 100 minus two months. Yes, checks out :-D
When a 99 years old guy dies, the first thing you think is "it was because of the vaccine" ?
Also, two weeks before he died "unexpectedly", he appeared to be 99 years old, and it's concerning because it's very unusual and unexpected that people this age suddenly die.
Apparently only a vaccine can suddenly kill someone at the ripe age of 99...
Wasn't he the one who was about 100 years old? How many vaccines did he take when he was younger?
...although I know of 17 people that have had strange reactions to the vaccinations. All different and within 3 hrs to 5 days afterwards
Hmmmm -- he was also 97. A number I seriously doubt I shall reach. Or aren't Royalty supposed to ever die?
But I guess that fact that he was just shy of his 100th birthday had nothing to do with it.
I heard that being 97 years old may have contributed to his death. You guys stay young out there!
funeral business will have their best year in 2021 according to some prevision
"unexpectedly" at over 20 years over UK mens life expectancy.
At 99 years old (a couple months away from the 100th birthday), death is not unexpected. If he hadn't been vaccinated, he'd still be alive?
Nah! all you silly people! We would all live forever if the nasty Bolshie, Nazi, Capitalist, Government didn't make us do things that kill us!
"a hundred year old man died unexpectedly"... that's a sentence I never thought of... the car crash he survived few years ago, THAT was unexpected
I heard he LIVED Yep, we all live just so we all die, and the man was nearly 100 years old and was in ill health for a long time no matter how much the media and the royals tried to say he was fine, everyone should have seen his death coming from a million miles off. xP
And don't forget, he was 99 years old! Oh, but I'm sure that if only he hadn't gotten vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have lived to be 130, because reasons.
Unexpectedly? Unexpectedly is 20-30 years old. 99 years old is "he lived a good life, and we knew this day would come."
They're also saying he was 99 years old and had been in the hospital not long before he died. So yeah, 99-year-olds are super healthy and the only thing that could possibly have killed him was the vaccine.
So Cold It Burns
Jeepers Creepers
This, right? Taking strangers pics is not very subtle! Especially this well framed, poor dude. Now I wonder about genders reversed: guy taking picture of young woman with such inference? Well if I find that creepy (which I do), then by all logic this is equally as creepy (which it is)
There's No Vaccination For That
What's sad is that her children have to suffer for her to be proven an idiot.

Gas Pump (Doesn't) Go Brrrrr
When I was a kid working at a gas station, if the power failed, you cranked it by hand. Lot of years ago, mind

“We Follow Biblical Rules”
The word “homosexual” wasn’t added into the Bible until 1942. Can we not hide behind religion to excuse our homophobia, thank you.
