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.

And polio, measles, pneumonia, diptheria, influenza? Oh and that pesky Bubonic Plague. A healthy gut sure worked there.

Honestly, You're Not Important Enough To Be Microchipped
I ask again...why would they give us FREE microchips with our vaccinations? If they wanted to microchip us you'd better believe they're going to make us pay for it too.
Like maybe in a device most people carry with them at all times that can track their location, spending habits, who they connect and what they look at online...posted from iPhone

This has been my new favorite Arguement. “Aren’t you worried they are putting microchips in you?” “Do you have a cell phone?” 6 word debunker right there.
This is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I have ever heard. 1) Why would anyone want to do this? 2) How would they be able to personalize the chip in every vaccine so they knew who they were tracking. 3) This technology doesn't even exist and if it did it would be way too expensive to use. People are morons.
Every time I hear some very uneducated person go on about how the vaccines have tracking devices in them I look at their cell phone and wonder if they understand that no one needs a vaccine to know what you are doing every minute of the day.
Just how do these people think microchips work? When you get your pet microchipped, you can't track it from a distance if it gets out and becomes lost. You have to hope that someone will take it into a vet clinic and ask if they'll scan for a chip with a hand-held device from about 2cm away.
How do they know which chip goes into which person? And how do they stop all of them going into one person? (there are more than one dose per bottle after all)
Oh... you and your logic! I think the fact you’re so smart just proves that you have a microchip in you!

Actually it's likely they unlocked it with their face, which is even creepier.
Can you seriously imagine the expense of microchipping (with nano-technology being in it dawning years) over 7 billion people worldwide? I can't get my elected officials to write me back let alone worrying about them wondering where I am! LOL
How narcissistic must it be to think that anyone wants to where you are and what you are doing every second of the day? Hey, Joe Redneck. No one cares that you just drove your rusty pickup to the local gas-n-go to buy a case of nattie light, a can of chew and some scratchers. There millions just like you. You are not special. You are largely inconsequential and the government has nothing to gain from your existence. Why on earth would they waste time, money and resources on tracking you?
"They" only care about getting you to spend your money where they want you to. 😅
Load More Replies... It’s always ugly people saying these things. Like there’s some rule you gotta look terrible to be anti vaccine lol
I used to be worried about the microchip thing. Then i realized we are the microchips and that they kinda already own us cause we didnt read facebook privacy policies. U may downvote.
Just how do people think those microchips are going to fit through the tiny little opening on a needle?
BINGO! Don't forget standard GPS in vehicles, EZ Pass automated toll-booths, and metallic coil stickers used to track items originally for theft protection, but often used to track items after sale.
And do you have the new trendy status symbol Apple Watch/ tracking device as well? Moron...
Did you happen to notice the tiny needle they injected the CLEAR liquid vaccine with? Get a life you paranoid freaks.
She needs to be microchipped to keep track of her since she’s clearly of diminished mental capacity so someone needs to make sure she gets from point A to point B without getting lost.
Actually I do wish we WERE all microchipped, No need to keep a great pack of various plastic "cards" our wallets, nor need to remember multuple passwords. No lost or stole cards and trying to report them in time to stop htem being used by someone else,

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.

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

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?

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
