Heard a guy respond to another guy calling him a motherfucker with 'yeah, but your mom didn't complain much', so it got me thinking. What are your best comebacks for the common insults you hear from time to time?

It lands best if you order a Cosmo or something equally "girly" coloured right before.

Lassie, in response to the bestiality rumors circulating about you, I have decided to forgo calling you by the usual girl's name, and instead I am going to refer to you as whatever famous dog I can think of. I have gone with Lassie because of course it satisfies the criteria of being both a girl's and a dog's name, thus helping you to ease into the transition

For girl colored drinks, a Pink Lady is an incredible cocktail for all genders to enjoy, and one I'd recommend if your bartender can actually make it. Best when a bar makes their own grenadine, too.
