Sometimes you just have to deliver the comeback of the century to show the person receiving it their place. I'm not being rude, but people forget their places very often and find themselves challenging and messing around with another person, all under the influence of something materialistic.

I'm sure you've noticed how quickly people change, and how often some of us forget to plug the brain to our tongue. When this happens, a hero rises from the ashes and delivers a boss-level comeback in the heat of the moment.

They're the epitome of saying the right thing at the right time. There's a reason only some comebacks deliver a punch while others don't.

First off, a punchy comeback is:

1. One that isn't planned
2. One that delivers bitter truth without sugar-coating it
3. One that roasts a person in their own spit.

So what can we do to deliver a boss-level comeback? Easy.

All great comebacks require great listening and thinking skills, but for that to happen, you must put your ego aside and swallow your pride. If you act impulsively just because you want to stop the conversation, you'll miss the right moment to make an impact with the right comeback.

Train your brain to listen first and respond next. When you learn how to do this, your words will transform into an imaginary arrow that hits the bullseye every time you open your mouth.

Won't be long then that people will think before they speak when they're around you. A great and subtle way to let others know you mean business.

Without further ado, let's temporarily worship these boss-level comebacks to know what that glory tastes like!

Slow claps.

Exactly, burn.

Yes, focus on what matters.

Roasted.

Well, d'oh.

That's deep and profound.

ROFL.

Dang. I'd be afraid.

This is a revolutionary comeback.

Tit for tat, but in class.

Compliment or roast? You decide.

LMAO. Mic-drop moment here, folks.

Nope, not today.

Dang, girl. Go get 'em.

Happens, totally relatable, only I'd be coughing my lungs off.

Laughter is the best painkiller.

Karma.

Wow, profound.

I held my breath till I finished reading this.

Classic Eureka moment. Cue in the facepalm.

ROFL.

Smooth.

Oh boy. That stung twice.

In Summary...

A comeback is like a magic verbal bullet that impales a person's train of thoughts, leaving them with nothing to say.

For instance, my old neighbor enjoyed ridiculing me in front of others for not getting married sooner. One time, in front of a group of people at a cousin's wedding, she said, "so when's your turn?"

It didn't sit well with me, and people could tell I was upset. A couple of months later, when we attended someone's funeral together, I asked her, "so when's your turn?"

A boss-level comeback can do a few things when done right:

1. Makes the receiver extremely mad (because they don't know how to redeem themselves).
2. Stops negative train of thought and helps the receiver see things differently.
3. Teaches the receiver to not mess with the giver.
4. Raises the status of the comeback giver.

Remember, great comebacks are a combination of the right words, the right tone, and the right timing. To make an impact, remember to keep your ego aside and swallow your pride.

Also remember, the purpose of comebacks isn't to make the receiver look bad but to help the receiver understand the ridiculousness of the entire situation instead.
