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.
Babies Are Not A Plaything
Girls Have Ankles Too
Tomi Lahren
I love and have a lot of respect for Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D). She is educated and she is very compassionate unlike that moron Tomi.
Thanks! I didn't understando what AOC meant, I googled it and only got electronics XD

Why do they always go after the fact that she worked as a bartender? Is it somehow taboo to be employed?
Always hilarious. The republican party, 1% billionaires, 99% welfare.

After all the s**t she posted, how was that woman not taken off the platform and/or arrested? What gives? Please explain it to me.
I think you're misunderstanding both "that woman" and the platform. The woman's job is to stoke outrage, fear, and ridicule. She does this extremely well. Facts do not matter when the job is to stoke outrage, fear, and ridicule. The right-wing position these days ignores most basic facts (see: climate change science, covid medical knowledge, voter fraud evidence, etc). They pay MANY people to stoke outrage, fear, and ridicule (see most of the Fox "News" line-up - an organization which is registered as an entertainment channel and who literally use the defence, when sued, that "no one reasonable would believe the things we say"). So she's doing her job. The platform also benefits from all the likes and clicks and comments so they love the outrage machine. They will only remove very extreme cases that might threaten their ability to do business in the future, say, if a government was actually overthrown violently which would be very bad for business.

And the reason she got fired from one is because she’s pro-choice for abortion which is against conservative beliefs. So I guess conservatives cherry pick the Bible and cherry pick what topics they follow
Apparently the basic difference between socialism and communism eludes their understanding of life

why do conservatives think DEMOCRATS are freedom-haters??? We literally just want Basic Human Rights how is that hurting you in any way
Anyone who fights against human rights are one of two things; a colonizer or an autocratic tyrant

wow, if a smart person scares you you are saying too much about yourself.
Reason why men hate strong assertive women right here

She makes me just shake my head in wonderment. The bad part is she'll run again.
Why do people think socialism and communism are the same in America...............no one's going around waving a red flag around and threatening to build a wall around the boarders like it's the cold war.................ohhh
I don't. Why are americans so afraid of health care, living wage, affordable housing/education etc?
Apparently basic human rights don't matter if they don't like the politician

$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....
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.
I'll Bet They Do, At Least The Senior Ncos
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.

That'll Show Them!
