    At a cocktail party with Winston Churchill, A very proper British lady that didn't like his politics told him "Sir Churchill, if I was your wife, I'd put poison in your drink". Churchill looked at the woman for a few seconds and said "madam if you were my wife, I'd drink it."
    My grandmother told me once, if someone is asking you personal questions that you don't care to answer, just say , "Wow, that's a really personal question, is there a reason for you to know?" Usually stops them dead in the tracks,

    I've found that forming corrections as a question works well without insulting someone, if I think a correction is necessary. "Aren't you supposed to mix the dry ingredients first?" "Is 'snuck' a word?" "Didn't that happen last year?" Turning statements into a question works in a lot of areas where people would normally get offended and I think that's because you seem inquisitive rather than competitive. You have to be careful with your attitude, though. Don't ask the question like you have doubts, but more like you're confused by conflicting information.

      @@CandyAndromeda yeah, I never did this when I was in an argument with an extreme narcissist, but I imagine it would have kept her ego in check if she felt like she was still in charge/parenting/teaching and I just acted submissive. Because that’s literally how I would try to argue with my mother. Which she wasn’t.
      Unfortunately, I didn’t do that because I can hold my own (logic-wise) in an argument and she made no sense, eventually gave up because she only wanted to have the last word and berate me for not agreeing, not actually clear up our viewpoints. Literally, I said “I understand why you think that way now, I just think of it differently, so we can agree to disagree.” and she would keep going…and going….and I just had to reply and point out all the contradictions, like really? I’d quote her from what she said 20 seconds ago, but she’d claim “she didn’t say it/mean it like that”. Thats when I gave up because I can’t argue with someone that reality doesn’t exist for. How can I argue a point that you apparently didn’t just say? What are we doing here? And no, she was never just clarifying, but would go around in circles.
      I didn’t quite realize the narcissism until she brought up the same argument months later as a non-sensical interpretation of my character and why she wanted to ruin my life. Which is weird because the argument was about movies…narcissists, man

    The worst insult is "I feel sorry for you, blah, blah, blah." The best comeback for that insult is "I feel sorrier for you for being so insecure you felt a need to say that." I've got that tattooed in my memory for the next time that gets said. The bigger question is why do people want to insult other people? Answer: their own insecurity.

    This was a great video. I am almost 40 and when I witness people flipping out on others in public it's almost mind-boggling.
    When I was in 6th or 7th grade I was bullied by a certain group of kids and I have never forgotten the advice my mom gave me.
    She said that as long as I can talk about myself, nobody else can.
    That also made me self aware of my faults and strengths.
    After a few years, nothing offended me, no one could hurt my feelings. Now, I typically just laugh when someone tries or if it is a horrible attempt, my response is usually "is that the best you're capable of!".

      OR, that same request is made, with the same reply, and the other person responds with, "You need the exercise, you freakin' fat bastard!" THE LAUGH'S ON YOU

      Funny I saw this as I was saying the exact thing in a previous comment. As a teacher in a major city, whole class was temporarily taken over by this big bully of a kid, who noticed that I live in CROCS!! Most comfortable shoes in my entire life, so I have a few. So he was like, "So you really like those shoes, huh? You wear them everyday", which caused a full blown stadium roar among everyone.
      My comeback to him was, "I absolutely love these shoes, they are comfortable". Then he starts trying to put a price on my "cheap" shoes, So I flat out told him, "I can bring in all the Crocs I own, even the fur lined ones, and we can laugh all day at these shoes". He had to stop coming for me after that as all the ooooohs ensued because that was no fun to him if I am laughing at myself.
      And I just felt as a person who loves doing what I do, there was a way to get my point across without belittling, and by causing him to think as well.

    A few years ago I went to a lunch with my then boyfriend, and a few of his older Anglo Saxon relatives (I'm Eurasian) were present. One particularly obnoxious man laughingly asked me if I was a Hottentot (a rather archaic offensive racial slur). He was trying to be amusing and insulting at the same time - you know, make fun of the outsider - my response was to sweetly ask "What's a Hottentot?" the old geezer's joke fell flat AND my boyfriend's brother was absolutely furious with his mean-spirited relative and rebuked him. Notably, my then boyfriend said nothing - part of the reason he's not my 'current' boyfriend/husband.

    My husband, whose hobby is linguistics, says that the precedent against ending a sentence with a preposition started with a scholar who wanted to conform English grammar to Latin grammar. Before he forced his will upon English speakers, we had no problem with ending a sentence with a preposition.

    • @thetimekeeper955
      @thetimekeeper955 2 роки тому +1

      Which is an odd perspective for the scholar to have, given that English is Germanic and Latin Italic, thus the two are only distantly related (nearly three millennia separated). It's amazing how many so-called "rules" in English are arbitrary decisions by a single individual (or very small group) that everyone else has accepted and perpetuated without double-checking the reasoning: don't end with a preposition, don't start with a preposition, don't split infinitives, etc.

      * Old English "dette" (from the French "dette") became "debt" to make it look more like the Latin "debitum"

      ​@@davidbroadfoot1864 As far as American English goes, this kind of thing seems to be mostly a result of anti-British sentiment, since American English wasn't standardized until about seventy years after British English. It was Webster, I believe, who advocated that the Latin spelling of Latin-origin words was the only proper way to spell them-e.g., "color" was more accurate than French "colour"-but this was really only because the British had chosen the French spelling (probably because of Norman influence). He further advocated for other alternate spellings of words of various origins (not just French), to differentiate even more from British English, but he wasn't wholly successful, so American English has a number of baffling inconsistencies.

But not anymore cos the bullies heard it frequently and figured out what to say next.

    My Brother and I do this type of "witty response" with each other -- whether it is just the 2 of us, or if we are with others -- and when we Are with others, we can be very "agile" with remarks that everyone knows are not "personal" and about things they will not be "sensitive" about... It IS something you kind of have to LEARN over time... to do it well without hurting others... but doing it with forgiving friends and family will help you "Build up the muscles" (or brain cells) to do it easily when ever you wish.
    I have even used it to Prevent a fight! Get the "bully" to laugh... and the aggression goes away. (or at least you distract them for a couple of seconds, so YOU can get in a disabling strike... either way, you just ended the fight, without getting hurt.)
