Whats the best comeback you ever said to anyone?

Hey guys!

I wanted to know what was your favorite comeback when someone said something negative about your natural hair?

Or anything in general?

At least this is the way mine grows out of my head. hahaha

I just posted this in the Give Em Hell discussion:

Here's my universal reply to someone commenting on something that isn't their business:
When you make my __________ a line item in your budget, you can have a say in how I handle it.

Sometimes I go for the classic "I bet cho mama do too!" lol.

My go to response...

"What are you and your daughter mixed with...?"
My response..."Love and Happiness"....

Well if I'm wearing my diva wig...

"Is that your hair?"
"Yea...I bought it"

all time favorite most asked question "what are you mixed with you got that good hurr?" in my head (you sound beyond ignorant) real life "im mixed w black and african american" some people actually stop and think about it
and coming in 2nd "i dont have the kind of hair to go natural" my response "everyone has the kind of hair to go natural no one was born with a relaxer"

I love these responses! Keep it going

Love em and will steal em! hope no one copyrighted

"You got that good hair."

My response, "You do too. You just don't know it yet. When is the last time you've seen your natural hair? And I am not talking about new growth either."

That's when they get quiet.

I had an appointment and while I was having my vitals checked some nurses came up to me (black women) and took one look at my hair and said "Wow, your hair looks soooo nice...what do you call that"? :/

UM, HAIR!?
(I really think they were refering to my wng that I freshly did before I came to my appointment but the statement still caught me off guard)

"i like you better with relaxed hair"

My response:
I like you better when you was quite...lol i got my friend real good with that one

Oh boy; Can-O-Worms is now opening.

"Are you mixed?"
"About as mixed as OIL AND WATER."

"How'd you get your hair to grow without a perm??"
"It's like a Chia Pet: add water, WATCH IT GROW!"

"You can't be black with hair like that."
"And YOU can't be talking to me. Go walk off a cliff."

"I don't like it."
"I don't give a f***."

"I think you should--"
"DON'T think. EVER. You'll hurt yourself."

"I think you'll look nice with straight hair."
"And I think you'll look nice with SILENCE."

"You don't know WHAT to do with your hair."
"And YOU don't know that you need to MIND YOURS."

"Get a perm."
"Get some rope to HANG YOURSELF WITH IT."

"Is one of your parents white?"
"Is one of your parents IGNORANT? Because YOU sure turned out to be."

"You cut your hair AGAIN?"
"You're talking? AGAIN?"

"I want you to straighten it so I can see how long it is."
"Buy me a $200 CHI flat iron."
" "
"That's what I thought."

"But you HAVE to wear it straight."
"Says WHO?"
"......"
"Exactly."

"Can I touch it?"
"Can I break your fingers?"

"Why? Just...WHY?"
"Because STONE COLD SAID SO."

No, I am not polite.

lol @ladymika you are about as feisty as i am

i love you ladies....i am so posting this on my blog!

My favorite is "are you a mutt" or a week after straighten my hair, I washed it and returned to natural. An old lady stated - did you cut your hair...

lol I mean really she was alive during the 70s....why is she acting brand new about natural hair.

I LOVE your comebacks rayray and LadyMika...I will be stealing some of those! LOL

Lol! Some fiesty sistas in here.

I don't have anything because only my mom has been negative to me while I was transitioning, and I've handled that gently. My friends like my hair and Besides a few others I haven't encountered anyone outside saying something rude to me...Maybe I'm not approachable? :-/ I guess it's also only been 2 weeks though...So I guess I'll have some comebacks in my arsenal when the time comes!

LOL these are too funny !! Especially Rayray and LadyMika ! Ya'll had me laughing out loud in a quiet library haha

Oh I got PLENTY MORE where that came from---they're just not appropriate for this forum! I do not suffer ignorance or fools. Period. End of story.

I suck at clever comebacks. I wanted to read this thread for some ideas, and I got some good ones.

LadyMika is the TRUTH!
I get the "are you mixed" crap all the DAMN time. Not because of my hair, but because my skin is very fair. I am mistaken for biracial and/or hispanic a lot.

I am not THAT good at clever come backs but I told someone I was thinking of dreading my hair (during a brief lapse in judgement) and she screwed up her face (she has dreads) and said, "ew, why. I could NEVER imagine you with dreads. You're just too......."
and i stared her dead in her face and said, "too what??????" and waited.
there was an awkward silence for about 10 seconds, which is a LONG TIME when someone feels like an ASS, and then she said, 'I just cant imagine you with them".
i know what she meant. She wanted to say I was too LIGHT SKINNED....
friggin idiot.....

If you had know your roots you would be in tuned with nature! Life has thought me the very thing I do; it was ordained for me and you but you have lost your ways now you don't have a clue!

This comeback was for a young girl - in high school - who was rocking fake hair, nails, makeup that was too thick, eyelashes, and diamonds lining her eye lids. Holloween is not even here yet! Geez!

Yeah, I've got to stop riding the metro yall!
