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
I remember this from a few weeks ago! After all, ii did say I wanted to, given its a brilliant comeback :D

This Comeback Belongs In The Hall Of Fame

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?
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?
Makes it even better that Jesus was absolutely not white.
Load More Replies...I mean, we could take a look around the world and how minorities are treated in countries without "white supremacy". It's still bad, sure and needs a lot of improvement - but being the lesser evil is a good start (my opinion). The overall aggressive discussion from everybody really doesn't help to improve the situation at all
Hey Jarrod...how are the native Americans these days. Doing great
Load More Replies...Someone inform this “Christian” that the people of the Bible won’t white.
Fear of Extinction. What these idiots don’t realize is that white males are already a minority. A fast-dwindling minority, that is also quickly losing their power, which they’ve been abusing for millennia, while f*****g up the world with their deadly pissing contests. And they’re terrified because of it. Because Karma.
Did these folks never learn that they were always outnumbered, globally? I mean, seriously....
It's funny because 'becoming a minority in their own country' is exactly what happened to the indigenous people of 'your own country'
Well said!! The arrogance of these people. They’re always so quick to scream about it being their country but isn’t it the current minorities country as well?
Load More Replies...White males are only 31% of the U.S. population. I hate to tell you, Bubba, but you ARE a minority.
Who has more than 31%? White women maybe. I doubt if white men mind that. White men aren’t minorities. Minority doesn’t mean “less than 50%”
Load More Replies...It is the bit about "defiance in God's will" that gets me, what exactly is he saying?
Here's a thing, highest levels of church growth are currently in China, so not sure why this guy thinks God has a white supremacist agenda.
I read it as monotony and though sounds about right.
Load More Replies...It doesn't seem like this god of theirs is very potent. I mean he's god so one would think he could make as many white people as he wanted. Maybe he just doesn't really like white people all that much, hmmm?
Jesus was a bleeding heart socialist. or was he not the one who feed the multitudes, twice on record? Was he not the one who healed people for free? And he got really pissed off at church people who were trying to sell things at their temples - I mean really pissed off...
And did he not respect women when they came to him, and embarrassed the Pharisees when they tried to punish someone for a sin without being sinless
Load More Replies...If I was a person who believed in God (I am not), wouldn't I have to assume the all powerful wants it this way? I mean, if God is all powerful/all knowing, and white men become the minority.. wasn't THAT God's will? Also, I was raised in a strict Catholic house, and at no point did anyone have the hubris/vainglory/pride (a cardinal sin BTW) to assume they know God's will.
God is a white man tho a white redneck drunk from Florida cause someone else would do better
what they don't realise is that when their grandfathers decided to "breed the black out of them" they were never going to succeed. you need 1 brown parent to pass on brown genes to the baby. You need 2 white parents to guarantee a white baby. And since having brown skin is freaking awesome, the kids that were meant to be the hope of the white race are now half caste kids who REALLY dislike what their white ancestors tried to do, so they're out there spreading those brown genes around and making damn sure that within 50 years, most people in the world will have some colour to their skin and slightly slanted eyes. it'll be awesome
Humans are about 51% female and 49% male--even without people of color, you're a minority.
It’s not “monority’, it’s ‘moronity’ and white men ARE a minority group because take away all the white women and hey presto! You are a minority in numbers, at least.
The author said, "...than a 'monority'..." I think "moronity" is a better fit for those white men.
In the Bible Gods chosen people are not white men of European descent...
No. Lets not generalise all caucasians. That's as bad as the other way around.

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.

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

“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.
