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.

"Educate Your Self"
Say it louder for the ones in the back. Not that they listen to sense.
I’d be using something large and heavy to emphasise the facts, along with saying it louder!
Load More Replies...And what gives you the impression that your education outweighs my knowledge that I acquired on shady websites, fakebook, instagram, conspiracy theorist forums and the e-books written by Kerry Rivera that I downloaded?
As a parent of autistic children, anti-vaxers are not just poorly informed they are incredibly harmful. An entire group of people who would prefer dead children to children like mine
I am autistic. I'm also highly intelligent and creative, as well as happy. Not everyone is like me, but same could be said for any group of people. Go ahead and search for great people from the past who might have been on the autism spectrum. I am in agreement with the above post.
Load More Replies...It still baffles me that a study of 12 children 23 years ago is still causing the death of children. My eldest was due for the mmr when this all started, but I got him jabbed and all 3 of his siblings. No side effects. Why are people still afraid? The report was debunked almost instantly as a study of 12 kid will not give a proper result. Added to that, most children on the autistic spectrum won't be diagnosed until at least 2 years old. Luckily I live in the UK where this all started 20+ years ago and our kids get flu vaccinated as standard
The medical researcher admitted to skewing the data to get a headline-grabbing result, because what he wanted was FUNDING for the future. Publish-or-perish is a real problem in the US, at least, to get funding. Lived that a long time. It's a nightmare, b/c a legit study will be overlooked (not gonna rouse the public), and that crap gets published and then on the news and.... people like me and mine end up without funding that could prevent children's deaths. B/c, y'know, our analytics and all weren't sexy enough.
Load More Replies...It pisses me off knowing people think this IT'S A F*****G MEDICAL CONDITION GENETICALLY INHERITED YOU CAN'T CURE IT IT'S STUCK THERE DIPSHITS
Also the majority of the planet is vaccinated, but most of those people aren’t autistic. Simple math.
A Danish study came to the same conclusion after looking at statistics for half a million kids. Compare that to Andrew Wakefield's project for his grade two science class which looked at a dozen kids. The only reason he didn't also conclude that vaccines cause ear infections, scraped knees and head lice is that he wasn't paid to do so.
Load More Replies...In the 90s,a flawed, cherry-picked study claimed the autism link. The study was later retracted, but the damage was done.
Load More Replies...When will doctors and scientists learn that a 15-minute Google search is better than studying peer-reviewed journals and on-the-job training and experience? ... I mean, I'm a scientist and I wish I could've just gone to Google University, would've saved me a lot of time and money!
Counterpoint: He's researched (watched) 3 different youtube videos that say vaccines are bad. So I guess its 50/50 on who is right. (that's sarcasm )
Ed himself needed to be educated starting with reading because Dr. Baldwin CLEARLY put "MD" on her handling. What kind of education did Ed think a medical doctor has to prompt him to ask the doctor to edcuate herself?
I've said this before: There are two things that never get old: Dark humor and kids that aren't vaccinated. :-)
I mean, I'm not an anti-vax person, but my parents were. I'm 45 and never have had a vaccine and healthier than most the people around me. Not bc of that, but because of my lifestyle, diet, and way of life. So never say never..........
Load More Replies...What ur response french ed? Eh? Whats your response? FRENCH ED? WHATS YOUR RESPONSE FRENCH ED?
For those "self educated" people: 4+4+3+13=24 years. 24 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!! You'd think if there was a problem, she'd have picked up on it by now, right?
Is it absolutely known what causes autism? Just wondering. Like with all medications one has to weight pros and cons. Because babies and small children did not develop strong immune system yet, child vaccination is a must.
Actually the sooner we let all these anti-vaccine dorks die off, the better.
Nicole, congratulations on your personal achievements... Thanks for watching out for, and taking care of, others....
why do idiots think vaccines cause autism? the vaccine saved my parents from covid!
It makes them feel superior: like they know something no one else does. An ego trip, if you will.
Load More Replies...No no, not that kind of education. He meant a 15 minute Google search and watching some pseudoscientific YouTube videos.
But that would still only be valid if you then reach the same conclusion as the arsehole
Load More Replies...I knew someone who claimed that the flu shot gave her the flu, and made it worse. But in reality, she had the flu before the vaccine, so no, it did not. Every anti-vaxer I know is very sickly, and I facepalm every time I find someone else like that.
Eh, not what I was saying was not true. BUT Not every anti-vaxer is sickly. I'm not one btw, but my family is and they are very healthy. Parents are in their 80's, still working by choice and do activities like rowing (skulling) on the River and do a bunch of activities. My husbands family are also anti-vaxers and 2 work in healthcare. All are thriving. Just saying, never say never. No one knows it all :)
Load More Replies...This is just the perfect snarky response to the idiot she was communicating with.
That's your take away from this?! Also....who cares what time she stays up til?! 😂
Load More Replies...It could be better diagnostic techniques. People were labeled differently back in the day when they unknowingly had autism.

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.

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.

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?

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)
