    I always responded with “You fucked MY mom? What is wrong with you she is fucking disgusting.” That would take their power away and put the onus of embarrassment on them. Worked pretty well. It’s hard to joke about someone’s mom or anything for that matter if the person you are trying to make fun of takes it in stride and turns it around on you.

      I get the pleasure of a conversation-ending comeback. I wield it sporadically.

      “She died 20 years ago so that’s pretty nasty, but I’m proud of you for admitting your kinks so publicly!”

      If they stop and think about it they realize I was young when it happened and it shuts them down HARD. If they don’t, I upped the ante in such a way as to be largely un-toppable.
