Related: if they call you a smartass, a retort I like is "I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass"🤷
Oooh so we were talking about the snarkiest comeback, to someone already frustrated with us, got it.
OR to people who have been proven wrong and want to deflect the conversation to a personal attack on the one who proved them wrong, which is also often the case with arguments like in the OP 🤷
Actually you’re right. I only have to deal with my loved ones who say it playfully, I forgot that it was originally a dumbass weapon.
That's when the shrug is most important to indicate that you don't mean it as harshly as it might otherwise be interpreted. Of course, a somewhat sarcastic shrug can work well with the ones who ARE deserving of some snark, so mileage may vary 😁
