Greetings, Readers!
Today, I am here to assist you with your attempts at humorous responses to people in general.
Sometimes, people use particular words to take up space in a conversation. When such phrases occur, if you memorize a few witty responses, you can sometimes lighten the mood.
With you, dear reader, in mind, here is a short list of:
Some Witty Responses to Some Normal Phrases
1) “So”. This “phrase” is traditionally used to change the topic, or to continue a previous topic, but in a slightly awkward fashion. You see this one used in writing. When it is used for the purpose of being a time filler, or when it seems appropriate and does not seem to blend in too well with the next word, you can add “said the seamstress.” (Or tailor, if you prefer.)
The explanation behind this: A homophone of “so” is “sew”. Tailors and seamstresses sew. Ergo, “‘sew,’ said the seamstress.”
2) “Well.” This phrase is used similarly to “so.” If there is an appropriate pause, adding “a deep subject” can be droll. After all, wells (from which many gather water) are deep. Therefore, a well would, in fact, be a deep subject.
3) “Bye.” I assume you all know when this one is used. An amusing comeback to this one is “sell.” (This, obviously, works off the pun between bye/buy.)
3b) “Sell.” If someone uses this fluff response on you, there is a way to respond to this. “Phones.” The exchange therefore turns into “bye sell phones”, or “Buy cellphones.”
And with that, readers, I hope your conversations become a bit wittier. I also bid thee a joyous weekend.
