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
$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.
And This Is The Truth
Why did they have kids when they think viruses are needed for pop control? Control your own f*cking population and stop breeding!
Actually the smart people don't let their children die, they just don't have them in the first place; and then let disease take other peoples children in the name of population control.
The ONLY possible logical reason to oppose vaccinations is that without them, diseases would help curb population growth which would reduce climate change, plastic pollution, and environmental degradation. I'm not saying it's a good reason, but it is a logical reason. But vaccines don't cause superbugs.
But the ethical solution for that is to promote antinatalism not to kill babies with diseases.
Load More Replies... With the COVID, there's been s decrease in resources. Population control must be strictly enforced. I wonder which of her kids she'd like to volunteer to put down?
People like that 1st poster always assume the worse will happen to other people but not to them or their families.
Scarlet fever, smallpox, diphtheria, polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox ........ Not work? You have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
That's how nature works. We heedlessly overpopulate, some other force of nature takes a bunch of us out, and some balance is restored. Disease, just like famine and war and natural disasters, are forces of nature that take advantage of the vast supply of human bodies to live their best lives. Nobody has to let to their kids die. Just have fewer or none.
I can follow the argument but I wonder if she follows it all the way through. does she see a doctor at all? because is disease is necessary population control, why battle it all? No need to take antibiotics against bronchitis. Just let that cut get infected and die, like in the 'good old days'
People with autism are super-duper smart. Some becomse scientists and combat diseases. So vaccines don't cause autism. Autism causes vaccines. Autism keep you alive, you anti-vaxxer chucklefuck.
i absolutely agree with the mother honestly. i got nothing against people wanting to be safe, i believe in science and medicine. but population is crazy high. what're we at now? 8 billion humans almost? we need a good Thanos snap!
Well modern medicine has hindered evolution, so "defective" humans breed, but at the same time our knowledge can prevent issues that would arise from said evolutionary stall. eh, who cares.
People feel differently when they or their family are in the at risk group for a disease! It's true that medicine massively disrupting natural selection in humans, which could have consequences in the far future; but that a different topic.
Ever meet someone who shows you right off the bat that they are not as smart as they think they are?
Meant to say "Ever meet some who shows you right off the bat that they are smart, but not as smart as they think they are?

Ok, WHY is everyone commentating about this person having kids? WHERE does it say they have children??? The only mention of kids is in the other person's reply, and I'm sure they have NO IDEA if the other even has kids either. Please don't make assumptions, it makes you look stupid.
That'll Show Them!
No Second Chances For Her!
