Famous put-downs...

They do say the pen is mightier than the sword, don't they? How often do you wish you could come up with a really great put-down to stun your opponent with your wit, rather than punch them where it hurts? Well, here are a few famous ones to get your creative juices flowing...

• "The next time you wash your neck, wring it out!" anon
• "Don't go away - I want to forget you exactly as you are!" anon
• You've got the brain of a 4-year-old, and I bet they were glad to get rid of it! Groucho Marx
• "I wish I had known you when you were alive." Leonard Lewis Levison
• "If you're going be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty." Kayla Morris
• "His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." Mae West
• "Is that a new hairdo, or did you just walk through a wind tunnel?" anon
• "He uses statistics like a drunken man uses a lamp-post - for support rather than illumination." Andrew Lang
• "You're the type of person who lights up the room by leaving it." anon
• "He can’t see a belt without hitting below it." Margot Asquith
• "Please turn off your mouth; it's still running." anon
• "He has one of those characteristic British faces - once seen, never remembered." Oscar Wilde

And here's my personal favourite - an exchange between Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock MP:

Bessie: Winston, you are drunk!
Winston: Indeed madam. And you are ugly. But tomorrow, I will be sober.
