You may not find the right answer from me because I have never been too good at retorts. I usually use the quick short answer or the silent treatment, the psychological approach that gives me an edge. Answering stupid comments make me feel more stupid than the one who says them. I can have a good look at that person, make him/her feel my thought and then he/she shuts up. Remember that no one can throw mud without getting dirty him/herself.

Suzette Haden Elgin has written an excellent series of books (some info is also on her web site) about verbal self defense that will help you to stay safe without making things worse.

Well your mouth is the size of the Grand Canyon and your brain is the size of a mustard seed. Don't hate just appreciate.

you just have to be the more mature individual any situation. you just say: at least I can smell it when there's a bitchy cockroach in front of me.
