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.

"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.
Not vaccinating your kids should be co sidered child abuse. They are risking their lives out of stupidity. Thise kids should be taken to better families that would protect them from harm.

i'm not a parent, but I assume pretending you know it all when your children are only 8 months old is a bit presumptuous.
And I think commenting on something you know nothing about is extremely pretentious.

I wish people would learn that reading your also nutjob antivaxx's lies on facebook does not count as "scientific research"
So when her poor babies die of measles, whooping cough, polio, or mumps, what will be her excuse then? Or worse, one becomes ill and dies, leaving the other baby handicapped for the rest of its life?
Yeah well my father in law didn’t believe in vaccinations for his kids either. Result: scarlet fever for one leading to kidney failure ,a kidney transplant and a lifetime of suppressing his immune system and other side effects ie skin cancer and heart problems from the drugs he has to take to stay alive. My husband. He did vaccinate his cattle though.
You cannot respect a country in which parents can let their children die in the name of "liberty" because they only believe in prayer, crystals, omepathy or other sorts of bullshit.
Tell me this when/if they are 18 months and been to daycare everyday for 5 days a week. 8 years and been to public school for yrs 5 days a week, 18 years old graduating from high school and working a job for 2 years AND Never vaccinated, never sick. 8 months is nothing. I have 4 children, all over the age of 30. All vaccinated, all alive and well.
Soni....how old was your daughter when she received the Gardasil vaccine? She's in her early 30's now, vaccine was FDA approved in 2014.....
In Australia it was approved in 2006 and rolled out a year later. She was 17 now almost 32. Her reaction to it took less than an hour. Within 3 she was on life support. 7 months in hospital. Up to 200 siezures per day. Everyday. 15 years later. Every. Damn. Day. Alot of people here on this thread wished death for my kids, without actually knowing how close she comes everyday. Because I did the "right thing". And now I speak out about it and I'm sick of it. Sick of the bullshit that everyone assumes I'm a conspiracy nut, sick of being called a liar because it doesn't fit in with someone elses uneducated rhetoric. Like you, not knowing that it was available before 2014, assuming that I'm full of s**t instead if checking it out FFS

How many of these chemicals do you want in your body? These are all the chemicals in the flu vaccine. Ethanol Propyl Acetate 2-Methylpropyl acetate Propanol n-Butyl acetate 2-Methylpropanol 2-Methylbutyl acetate n-Butyl propanoate n-Butanol n-Pentyl acetate 2-Methylbut-3-enyl acetate 2-Methylbutanol 3-Methylbut-3-enyl acetate 3-Methylbutanol 3-Methylbut-2-enyl acetate n-Pentanol n-Hexyl acetate E-Hex-3-enyl acetate Z-Hex-3-enyl acetate Hex-4-enyl acetate E-Hex-2-enyl acetate n-Hexanol Z-Hex-3-enol E-Hex-2-enol n-Hexyl-2-methylbutanoate n-Heptanol Camphor n-Octanol n-Oct-2-enol 1-Methoxy-4-(2 propenyl)-benzene
8 months on earth , how about when they’re 8 years if they make it that long. Vaccine kids are safer and healthier. She’s a selfish PieceOfShit using her babies to further her own weird agenda.
It's scares and worries me to think there are millions of children out there who are growing up with stupid people like this for parents.
At 8 months old her kids haven't been exposed to much either. Give it time.
A central tenet of a free and democratic society is the freedom to make informed decisions about medical interventions that carry serious potential risks. This includes the right to be apprised of benefits and risks—and the ability to say no. The Nuremberg Code of ethics established the necessity of informed consent without “any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion.” Forcing the MMR vaccine, or any other vaccine, on those who are uninformed or who do not consent represents nothing less than medical tyranny.
WOW!!! You got TWO babies to EIGHT month old, unvaccinated! You are a clever woman aren't you!' OR thank all you neighbours who gave their kids t he Whooping Cough, Diphtheria. Measles (etc) vaccines, and had them themseklves as infants!
Evelyn this article is a great read. Might give you a clearer perspective. Not a spam or conspiracy article, but it might broaden your mind on your comment https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/vaccines/japan-leads-the-way-no-vaccine-mandates-and-no-mmr-vaccine-healthier-children/

So, she plans to never let them be around other kids? Oh, they'll get sick alright out in the world. Geez, too stupid to raise children.
A doctor said to a parent that the Chinese government is happy to have the U.S. get weak by having more people succumb to diseases. Winners will those who have the strongest and the most population. I'd call it thinning the herd.

Anti-Masker vs. A Hedge
To be fair to the tweeter, in the UK (don't know about other countries) you do not have to wear a mask outside. Walking in the countryside less so. I've had a jogger almost fall into a ditch trying to avoid me on a country lane, and this was after I'd moved right to the side to allow him to pass. Some people just like extremes I guess.

Being in a bad place yourself is no excuse to hurt others, especially those who depend on you. If you're a parent falling into a toxic spiral, don't be afraid to get help for yourself & your kids before it's too late. Neither of you deserve to be in pain & there are people out there who want to help.
