Clever Retorts

Inspired by this childhood rejoinder — ‘A jerk is a tug. A tug is a boat. A boat sits on water. Water is nature and nature is beautiful, so thanks for the compliment’ — my 11-year-old niece, my sister and I came up with the following witty replies to common jabs.

Geek sounds like eek. Eek is an exclamation. Glad you're so excited to see me.

Stupid starts with stoop. A stoop is a porch. A porch is attached to a house and if want you an invitation over, you’re going to have to be nicer.

Meanie rhymes with weenie. Weenie is a hot dog. A hot dog is America’s favorite, so thanks for reminding me how popular I am.

Fatty rhymes with catty. A cat starts out as a kitten. Kittens are adorable, so thanks for calling me adorable.

Loser starts with l. L comes before m. M times 2 is M&M. Thanks for calling me sweet.

Learn 'em. Love 'em. Use 'em.
