Don't you hate when you get stuck in a conversation with someone who has no idea what they're talking about? It can be incredibly frustrating. Instead of going off on them, all you have to do is give them a good one-liner. If you need some help, here a few comebacks to use when speaking to someone stupid:

1. Of Course I Sound like an Idiot. How else Would You Understand Me?
If you spoke like your usual, intellectual self, then they wouldn't be able to follow what you were saying. You have to dumb it down for them.
***
Sometimes, it's like trying to explain quantum physics to a toddler. You go out of your way, simplifying everything down to the basics, but they still stare at you like you're speaking a foreign language. It's not that you want to underestimate anyone's intelligence, but let's face it, not everyone is on the same wavelength. So, you play the part of the patient teacher, repeating yourself with a smile, all the while resisting the urge to just shake some sense into the conversation.
Ugh, when someone drops a dumb bomb, hit 'em with a classic 'Did you hear that? It was the sound of nobody asking.' It's like a verbal eye-roll, y'know?
Girl, keep it cool and sarcastic. A 'Wow, I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong' should do the trick. It's like a polite slap with words - classy but sassy!
Absolutely! Next time try 'I'm not a proctologist, but I know an asshole when I see one.' It's a zinger that's sure to make 'em think twice before being stupid again.
You gotta shut that down fast. Hit them with, 'I'd love to insult you, but I’m afraid I won’t do as well as nature did.' It's a mic-drop moment!
Keep it light but biting with something like 'Are you always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?' It's a cheeky nudge that says 'do better, buddy.'
2. It’s Scary to Know That People like You Are Allowed to Vote
Our country is in their hands. It's a terrifying thought, which is why you need to vote to balance out their vote.
Ugh, when someone drops a dumb bomb, hit 'em with a classic 'Did you hear that? It was the sound of nobody asking.' It's like a verbal eye-roll, y'know?

3. I’d like to See Things from Your Point of View, but I Can’t Get My Head That Far up My Butt
Sometimes, it's pointless to try to see things from another person's point of view.
***
This zinger is essentially a snarky way of saying that someone's perspective seems so outlandish, you'd have to perform metaphysical acrobatics to even begin to grasp it. It's the perfect shutdown for conversations spiraling into the absurd, where logic is on vacation and reason has taken a permanent holiday. Remember, it's less about yielding the intellectual high ground, and more about saving yourself from a mental gymnastics routine that would make even an Olympic athlete dizzy. Use it sparingly, though, as this verbal eye-roll is as potent as it is sassy.

4. If I Wanted to Hurt Myself, I’d Climb up to Your Ego and Jump down to Your IQ Level
If they're really as stupid as this insult insinuates they are, then it'll take them a while to figure out what you've said. They probably won't get angry until long after you've walked away.
***
This snarky jab is the perfect cocktail of wit and derision, guaranteed to leave a lasting sting. As they're left grappling with the concept, you're already moving on, unscathed by their potential retort. The beauty lies in its silent detonation; by the time the penny drops, you're out of the blast radius. It's not just a burn, it's an intellectual conflagration – a subtle, yet scorching remark that incinerates any semblance of self-esteem they may have had. Use with caution, though – underneath that humor is a barb sharp enough to cut ties.

5. I’m Sorry if I Hurt Your Feelings when I Called You Stupid. I Thought You Already Knew
It's a simple mistake. They can't blame you for it.
***
This text is an apology from one person to another for calling them stupid. It is a reminder that even in the heat of the moment, we can make mistakes and that it is important to apologize for them. The apology is a reminder that we should all take a step back and think before we speak. This article is a great reminder that no matter how stupid someone seems, it is important to remain respectful and understanding. It is also a reminder that no matter how wrong we think we are, it is important to apologize and take responsibility for our actions.

8. I Didn’t Say You Were Stupid. I Said You Are Stupid. There’s Nothing past Tense about It
Unfortunately, stupidity doesn't fade away.
***
Unfortunately, stupidity doesn't fade away. It's not like a bad haircut that grows out or a pimple that eventually disappears after wreaking havoc on your forehead. No, it's more of a permanent feature, like the shape of your nose or the sound of your laugh. And just like you wouldn't tell someone their laugh is something they used to have, I'm not about to put a past tense on your level of intelligence—or lack thereof. It's very much a present situation, and my comment stands as a current observation, not a fleeting judgment.
