Yeah Whatever, Man

It's a long-standing joke in my family that the world's greatest comeback is "Yeah whatever, Man." It's infallible and foolproof as long as one says it correctly. I'm not even sure how to write it correctly, grammatically speaking, because its effect is solely dependent on the speaker. My dad is the one who started this tradition and he is the master. If you've ever met my dad, you would know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Lauren, Brooke, and I were talking about comebacks today and I mentioned this to them. In about ten seconds, Lauren had already succeeded in implementing it correctly. I've spent my entire life trying to perfect that line and it took her less than a minute. Oh, the unfairness. Anyway, there were some pretty funny back-and-forths between Brooke and Lauren that I thought I would share with the world.


"Your mom smells like pinneapple."
"Yeah whatever, Man."

"That black person looks like chocolate milk."
"Yeah whatever, Man."

"Your face looks like fart."
"Yeah whatever, Man."


Truly, the applications of this line are endless, and its power should never be underestimated.
