1. To insulting young person: "How old ARE you? I have SCARVES older than you!"
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 04:19 AM by Radio_Lady
(Or shoes -- or dresses... whatever!)

4. That doesn't work for me ...
I have scarves old enough to have voting-age children.

Sweaters too.

7. I could say "I have neckties older than you!"
Socks too probably in the back of some dresser drawer.

3. "Your concern has been noted".
Also "...and your point is?" Snark is much more effective when it's polite.

For obvious trolls: "Enjoy your stay. I hope you like pizza".

They should shorten up one of those to AYPI?

52. I like it even shorter: "And...?"
In Spanish, it's even more succinct. It's one letter.

¿Y...?

(pronounced "ee")


It's like, "Is that all you have? That's it? Shouldn't there be a point somewhere?" all rolled up into one syllable.

12. Not my favorite, but my LEAST favorite: "Whatever." Though that's still less annoying than
the late, and not lamented, "Talk to the hand." That was the most arrogant fucking thing, ever.

15. I've used "whatever."
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 03:12 PM by Hardrada
I think it's short for, "Whatever works for YOU, Buster Brown!"

17. Oh, we've all used it. The annoyance comes when it's used ON us, probably because
it makes us realize that we really should have stopped before we heard it...

55. I find "whatever" helpful with the person who BY GOD always has to be right.

It's about the only way to shut him/her up.

21. I will take it under advisement.
Which everyone in my family knows means, "No."

"Is that a fact?" is an all-up-in-your-face challenge.

"I got your _______ right here," where _______ is the topic under discussion.

and the all time classic family conversation ender,

"Be that as it may."

22. "Well, bless your heart."
That's kind of a timeworn "Southern" thing, and a bit subtle...
But it translates to a very polite way of saying:
"I'm sorry, I started to take offense to the horrible, asinine nonsense
coming out of your mouth, but then I realized that you're mentally retarded."

25. "Are you naturally stupid, or do you have to work at it?"

"Just when I think you can not get any dumber, you open your mouth and prove me wrong"

"Your village is missing you."

"Did I pull your string?"
