We all know the feeling. You got into an argument with a frenemy or a
stranger and they got you so riled up that you couldn’t come up with a good
comeback until long after the fighting is over.
There’s actually a French term for this called l’esprit de l’escalier. It’s used
to describe the feeling you get when you come up with great comebacks...
but not until after the fact!
The best comebacks taste as sweet as revenge when used appropriately,
but we know how hard witty comebacks are to come up with when you’re
put on the spot.
To help you come up with some sick burns, roasts and funny comebacks
you can use in the heat of battle, we’ve come up with 100 good
comebacks. Use these when you don't feel like being sweet as a peach
the next time you find yourself arguing with a bully.
We guarantee at least one of these snarky comebacks will wipe the smirk
off your enemy’s face. And the best part? You’ll walk away feeling
victorious!
