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.

A Very Important Point
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
The Best Putdowns Come From The Truth
This Comeback Belongs In The Hall Of Fame
In The Interests Of Public Safety
I'd Expect No Less At Dollar General
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?
Quite a few women turn on the one guy. He makes out with all of them, chooses one, takes her home to separate from her again a week later. In short: a waste of life.

When I took a glance at the photos, I actually thought they were the same guy!
They are extremely cheap to produce, and some people will watch any kind of trash, so cheap shows make a lot of money.
At least one of these dudes has injured themselves while eating mayonnaise.
You forgot brown eyes and triangular head hole (wtf is that in English sorry :D)
No problem, I am so curious what you mean by triangular head hole? Like a nose (since it is a triangle hole in sculls)??? :)

Are you telling me that the second and third frames are not the same person?
I have not willingly sat down and watched any of these shows. I think my brain would die, if I did.
I wanna see a show something like "So You Think You Can Pet A Polar Bear" or ya know... something like that.
The Walking Dead is a better title for this mess. But, of course zombies don't give roses. OH, yes they do! And zombies accept them!
Proof the the producers just don't care anymore. Or maybe they just think no one's going to notice.
I'm more baffled that people are actually still watching these trashy shows.
I can’t stand these reality type dating shows, reality shows are not at all reality, but the ones based on finding the “one” doesn’t feel right
If junior high school was the high point of your life, you'll love the show.
U sure those aren't literally the EXACT same guy, just (almost) different hair cuts?
I don't watch it but I believe the most recent bachelor was actually a black man.
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
Something About Bootstraps
Not Sure You Are Doing It Right
Exercise By Jumping Into Conclusion
“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
That'll Show Them!
No Second Chances For Her!
Can't Say Much, Can We?
Why Even Publish This Story?
Nice Try
