Unfortunately, you'll occasionally end up in situations where you have no choice but to insult the person standing beside you. Instead of throwing out unforgivable curses that could make you seem uneducated, you should fight back with classy comebacks. That way, you'll appear like a sophisticated intellectual. Here are some of the classiest comebacks you could use in an argument:
1 I've Been Called Worse Things by Better People
When someone insults you, you need to act like what they said hasn't bothered you in the least. That's why this is one of the best comebacks you could use in an argument. It'll insult the person you're speaking to while letting them know that you couldn't care less about what they think of you. Their opinion means nothing.
2 I Can Explain It to You, but I Can't Comprehend It for You
When the person you're arguing with doesn't seem to get your point, you should use this comeback. It shows them that you're willing to explain what you're saying, but that you don't think it will help them, because they aren't smart enough to understand. Anyone would have a tough time coming up with something to say back to this comeback.
3 I'd Agree with You but then We Would Both Be Wrong
When you can't wait for your argument to end, you might be tempted to just agree with the other person so that they'll go away. However, this comeback will let the person know that you're tired of speaking to them, but can't bear to agree with their horrible logic.
4 I Love How You State the Obvious with Such a Sense of Discovery
This is about as adorable as a comeback can get. It insults the intelligence of the person you're speaking to, while sarcastically complimenting them on their enthusiasm. It's a great line to use when you're speaking with someone who is passionate about whatever inaccurate facts they're spouting out.
5 Do Not Speak Unless You Intend to Improve the Silence
This is a way to tell someone that what they're talking about is pointless. They should just keep their trap shut if they have nothing important to say. Unless they can come up with something that would improve the silence, they should keep their lips sealed.
6 Your IQ Does Not Even Make a Respectable Earthquake
This insult is so wonderful, because people who don't understand the Richter Scale won't understand exactly what you're saying. Of course, you could also switch up this insult by saying, " Your IQ is lower than the room temperature." Take your pick.
7 I Refuse to Have a Battle of Wits against an Unarmed Opponent
When you're tired of having a useless fight that seems like it's never going to end, use this comeback. It lets the other person know that they aren't worth your time. No matter how long you speak to them, they're never going to understand the way the world works.
Stay classy by using these intelligent insults that will help you win any argument. In addition to being the victor, you'll also look like the bigger person, because you aren't saying anything that's too crude and inappropriate. You're just being honest. Can you come up with any other classy sounding insults that would help during an argument?
Serene Classy would be telling others off without leaving them offended. Some of these are acceptable but some are downright in-your-face rude
Christy "Classy" would be not to come back at all. Or at least come up with your own.

Kris Glenda, having been a customer care rep most of my adult life, it seems to me that sometimes the only thing to do is let your customer vent. When he pauses for a breath, try "boy, I can see why you're so upset! I'd have been this upset three calls ago!" Then ask what action would be acceptable to solve the problem. If it's an appropriate solution per company policy, do it. NEVER say "I can't do that...instead try "this is what we can do to solve the problem". This won't solve all of your customer care problems, but usually solves a good portion of them. Sometimes a customer gets verbally abusive. NEVER TOLERATE THIS ABUSE. Warn them once that the abusive behavior is unacceptable, then you should be good to disconnect the phone call. If the abuse is happening in person, absolutely enlist the help of your supervisor.

Gabrielle You might loose your last neuron. Lol
Gabrielle I lost IQ points trying to understand you
Maddie @Morgana its for fun stfu
Half-Blooded_BatGirl *near
Morgana All of these are mean. They maintain the "sophisticated" image by putting other people down. Shouldn't someone who is sophisticated not have to do that and be respectable enough not to put other people down, I.e turn the other cheek?
