Comeback for "You're small. Lucky!"

Several months ago I started losing weight, with no cause, and it's really worrying me. I don't want to become dangerously underweight. Also, it's annoying to have my clothes falling off of me, and to have to buy new clothes. (Mostly from the kids department, even though I'm an adult, because that's what fits.)

When I was a little kid, my parents used to complain about me being too skinny. I never fully got over that.

I've been shorter then average for my entire life, and that's always bothered me deeply.

I responded to that by asking if she was kidding, and then she accused me I thinking I wasn't skinny enough. I said that I was too skinny, and she gave me a look like I was crazy. If that ever happens again, I want to be ready.

Edit: I'm a women.

What's the best comeback for "calm down"

Whenever I'm mad my boyfriend loves to say this so, what's a good comeback I can use? (I love him loads so idon't want it to be too mean)

"Are you supposed to be the jokester or the joke?"

I don't see the point in giving you an answer when just by asking that question you're proving to be the biggest clown here.

How to phrase your comeback or turn it into a wity one?

I can think of good comebacks but the problem with me is that I can't phrase it properly since English is not my primary language. For example: If someone shows me his family tree which is big and have famous/successful peoples, I can reply "I am an environmentalist, a great one but trees like this are better being cut down", something like this but it sounds pretty lame and can be turned into a good one with rephrase. Give ur best advice (open for constructive criticism).

I need a comeback for be told by my sister I look 'sickly' after weight loss

I'm a male, recently lost about 40 pounds. I was at 205, I'm now around 160-ish at about 5'6". I was with my sister and she told me that I have lost so much weight I look 'sickly' which isn't true. I am at a decent weight for my height and body type. Apparently, she would rather I did not at all feel good about myself and my accomplishment. What can I say to her?

A response for people who judge those working out at the gym across the parking lot

I work at a restaurant and basically no healthy people come in. A lot come in making rude remarks about the people across the parking lot at the gym working out. They act grossed out or disgusted, it's weird to be judgmental towards healthy people. Any funny responses I could say that aren't insulting the person making the rude remarks?

Best Comeback for “Let’s not make [me] cry”

So, I have a bit of a reputation as a crybaby and there’s one girl who likes to make fun of me for it during gym. I really want to shove that in her face with the best comeback I can (hopefully without swearing, because I don’t like swearing irl)

My brother (16M) is at it again. Now he's calling me (18M) a p*dophile. What's the best comeback for this?

Title basically says it all, but here's some more relevant info:

My brother is basing all of the reasoning off of some myth that I asked out some freshman girl to the homecoming dance last year. I was 16 and she would have been 14 or 15. In reality, I've never asked out anyone who's been more than a grade younger or older than I am.

Also, my brother is only doing this in front of a lot of people in order to sour their opinions of me, which makes this much worse. I know I should talk to an adult about this, but that's frowned upon in my school and only to be used as a last resort (like if someone's beating me up multiple times after I tell him to stop).

Any good comebacks for this situation?

Comebacks for “Impotence…”

Natures way of saying “No hard feelings…”

A male friend keeps calling me weak, what’s the best comeback?

He does it because I can’t do a pull-up, handstand, one-arm push-up, whatever. I’m annoyed and training to get stronger but he still does it.

Edit: I’m a woman.

Edit 2: Context:

  • He’s not saying it because I’ve been bragging about hitting the gym, he’s saying it while I drink water because it’s hot outside, when I take a break from training because I’m ill, etc.

  • He has a girlfriend.

  • Some of you are weirdly assuming I’m looking for the “easy” way out when I already train 6-8 hours a week. I can’t catch up to his strength no matter how much I train, that’s just not possible.
