Technically, insulting someone is incredibly rude . But when done skillfully enough, it can honestly be kind of impressive—even a real testament to brains and wit.
The trouble is, in the heat of the moment, it’s hard to come up with something truly worthwhile. That’s why one TikTok user asked people to share insults so intelligent , you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until three thoughts later.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the cleverest responses. You might want to bookmark these for when your enemies least expect it.
