Definition

A witty retort to an insult, ideally delivered immediately rather than three hours later in the shower. The hallmark of a good comeback is making your opponent wish they'd kept their mouth shut in the first place.

Example Usage

I finally thought of the perfect comeback to his roast, only 48 hours too late.
