    Yeah, like a lot of these aren't great comebacks. They're sort of witty and all, but a great comeback to me isn't just wit - it's viciousness as well, if we're talking about comebacks in an argument context.

    If you find the balance between the two, wittiness and ruthlessness, that's a comeback. If you stun the other person into silence for the right reasons, that's a comeback.

    The jerk store called-they're running out of you.

    Gore Vidal: You find my books what?

    Someone: Meretricious.

    Gore Vidal: Meretricious to you, and a happy new year.

    The Manic Street Preachers - "Billy Bragg is pretentious".

    Billy Bragg - "I had to look that up in a dictionary first, but now yeah, I tend to agree".

    Leaving the pub one evening when one of the lads called me back to the counter. When I got there.

    Mate: How far would you be gone if I didn't call you back?

    Me: Farther from a fool than I am now.
