Do you have any good putdown lines, you know when someone says something maybe a bit nasty or mean but the pther person comes back quick as a flash. I was on the bus this afternoon, with my mate, going to get groceries and have a coffee, and there was a teenage girl on board,who was dressed lovely, had a pretty face and nice hair, but the poor kid was very fat. Two young boys were sniggering and making remarks quietly to each other,and then said, ''Who ate all the pies then?'' as she got up to get off..she just turned and said very coolly, 'I'd love to stay and talk to you, boys, but I can't be a****'and got off...ithere wasnt another peep out of the lads... know it wasnt nice language but i couldnt help admiring her for her quick reply.

If it's a woman I'm talking to? "You owe me a rib" works wonders. The rest of the time I'd suggest avoiding anything elaborate, quick one liners that are easy to pronounce without getting your tongue tied are ideal.

i must admit the ones i like to think up or use the most have to be the cut to the wick patronizing ones like ok I'm a woman driver a guy cuts me up and then has the cheek to open his window and yell abuse gets the oh I'm sorry but its not my fault you can not drive maybe you just need more practice or how about the guy at the building site yells at my nurses uniform quick I'm dying get me a nurse i simply reply I'm a gynecologist not a nurse one of my favorites has to be if brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough to blow your balls off once had a few guys yell come and sit on this and my quick response was no thanks it would be like trying to sit on my thumb shut them up anyways

there is a woman who parks in my partner's numbered space every week and when I tackle her about it, she squawks "But I have a disabled pass and can park anywhere" Now this woman works as a nanny to two families with toddlers so cant be that disabled. In fact I think its her mum's car. Anyway, my riposte to her answer is always the same: "I didnt realise they gave disabled passes to the brainless!" and she falls for it every time.

I have been told that I am so sharp that one day I will cut myself! Actually I consider myself somewhat a master of the one line, cut them dead, put downs and quips. (On one of the ships on which I served I was known as the 'Oscar Wilde' of the company!). Wit and Sarcasm, can be used to great avail, and when used purposefully can be very funny indeed. Once, I remember my mother having some problems with a junior manager and she asked me for some 'one liners' that she could use with great affect - I was only too happy to oblige, but unfortunately by commiting them to paper, I forgot most of them! I have given up doing this at work now, because it just sails over the heads of most of my students!

Winston Churchill was a master. At one function a woman said to him, 'Sir you are drunk' to which he replied, 'Yes madam I am but you are ugly and come morning I will be sober'!!! Superb.

I'm hopeless at putdown lines!! Its only well after the event/comment that i think of a smart reply. It drives me mad cos i have often been in a situation that i wish i'd retorted smartly too!!!
