You've probably had someone tell you "f*ck you" or to "go f*ck yourself" at least once or twice or ten times throughout your life and if you haven't, have you even lived?

But what do you say when you want to be smart and witty and want to shut someone down while you're at it?

After all, you can't just stand there, you probably should have a response lined up.

(Disclaimer: Know when to walk away, seriously.)


People shared their best suggestions with us after Redditor Bluephoenix681 asked the online community:

"What's the best response to 'f*ck you?'"

Clever.

"‘You want to what?’ Hopefully then the reply is another f*ck you."

divinetrackies

Hopefully – and when it does happen you must feel so powerful!

You could say this:

"In this economy?"

Trytek1986

I felt this in my soul.

The rent is too damn high.

Or this!

"Don’t threaten me with a good time."

Austintk

Who's to say it'd even be a good time, huh?

Ouch.

"Tell your mom to top up the cell phone she bought me so I can FaceTime her late night!"

catch10100

But then what do you say if they remark that their mom died?

The Welsh appreciate this joke.

"You'd never be satisfied with a sheep again."

citsonga_cixelsyd

Paging the Welsh – you must have a response to this joke.

You must.

Self deprecation.

"You wouldn't like it I just lay there."

Drongo11

Ummm... you might want to work on that, in that case.

How polite!

"Thank you."

Select_Coyote7644

Kill them with kindness.

They won't know what hit them.

Burn.

"You aren’t my type.”

Ape28Comoco

This is an excellent way to stop someone in their tracks.

This works, too.

"My go to response to statements like this is “I will try anything 4 times." Mainly causes confusion at first but tends to make people laugh."

juniorohio

Four times?

That's quite specific.

There's a story here, isn't there?

That's quite the claim.

"You’d never go back to women."

rogerofdale

I'm okay in this regard but thanks!

Next time someone tells you to go f*ck yourself, you'll be prepared, won't you?

Or just throw back another f*ck you or some other variation.

It's the most versatile swear word in the English language, after all.

Within our communities, it's important to make everyone feel welcome and included, and sometimes that means making changes so that everyone can afford to be included. But sometimes changes are made simply because someone with the power to change it doesn't want to do something.

The question is whether changes are being made for inclusivity or convenience.

Fired TikToker Shares Bonkers Behind-The-Scene Stories About What It Was Like Working At Walmart

Whether or not we've ever worked there, we've all heard horror stories and seen internet memes about "people at Walmart" and the weird things that often happen within the oversized chain convenience store.

TikToker Kae, or @lolxdlolxdlolxd23455 on the platform, worked at Walmart for more than six months and ultimately was fired because he'd accidentally logged his PTO time incorrectly and also requested multiple days off,—but he'd intended to quit anyway given his unpleasant time working there.
