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

He himself is both a boob and an ass. If he can find a like minded friend they'd make an interesting pair 😂
100% THIS. Plus also access to birth control, feminine hygiene products and to feel safe. Just to name a few.
I wonder if he knows she just told him that he should have been aborted lmao
I saw a sex toy that was boobs ass and vajeen all in one lump and it was kinda terrifying.
I can’t believe there are still people who think of women as objects.
You can't believe it, Angelica? Where do you live? What country?
Load More Replies...Apart from a penis and an obsessive self image, what else should blokes have???
...Space for their liver so it doesn't get corrugated due to tight-lacing corsets?
Every lady should have respect from men and boys and not be considered a commodity or an object to be taken advantage of.
As long as a woman has boobs and ass who needs a personality or brains?
Right? My big boobs and fat ass will pay the bills (totally would....people would defo pay me a fortune to put them away 🤣).

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?

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
