21 people share the funniest and most savage comebacks they've ever heard.

Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can definitely cause a world of pain. However, nothing eases the sting of a cruel insult like a brilliant, well-timed comeback.

Someone asked Reddit: "what's the greatest comeback you've ever heard?" These 21 people share the funniest and most savage comebacks they've ever heard:

1.) From sean_but_not_seen:

My mom used to own a hair salon right next to a bar. One night she and a lady who worked for her were closing up the salon and walking in the parking lot and a drunk guy yelled, "Hey baby, why don't you come over here and sit on my face?" My mom's employee didn't miss a beat and said, "Why? Is your nose bigger than your dick?"

He was not pleased.

2.) From deck65:

Sprayed an ex girlfriend with a squirt gun and she immediately fired back with "6 months of dating and this is the first time you got me wet"

There is no comeback for that.
