One I’ve heard: a guy was giving another guy some shit for drinking a “girly drink”, saying “real men don’t drink those”.
The guy instantly responded, “Real men drink whatever the fuck they want.”

Man. I'm gonna use this one for sure!
It lands best if you order a Cosmo or something equally "girly" coloured right before.
Appletini
Easy on the tini
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.

Absolutely! What is more manly than being independent and not giving a damn about what others think!
"I fucked your mom"
Oh, so now you're disappointing other people's parents?
Wow, nice.
If it's someone random, and I haven't said anything to them at all, I'll usually put on a confused face and sign "What?" in ASL. Really takes the piss out of them. The hardest part is keeping a straight face when they try to repeat the insult but louder.
It's also my go-to power move when I'm in a long line or waiting room and someone tries to get chatty. Seriously, if you have the opportunity to take some ASL classes, you definitely should.
I love that this thread is slowly developing into a Monkey Island sword fighting training course.
'you fight like a barmaid!'
You are rubber, I am glue!
Oh yeah? Well... I'm selling these fine leather jackets.
I pull out the "I'm rubber, you're glue". Nobody expects it these days, either that or "Would Mister Rogers approve of your actions?" I've yet to meet someone who doesn't at least pause at that.
I can't pull it off, but "I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling." From Firefly is killer
"How appropriate, you fight like a cow"
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries.
Which, IIRC, insinuated that their mother was a snackish breeder and their father was a gin drunk. (Also, that she was past tense?)
That's just like... Your opinion man
You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole.
"Well, I guess you're no longer invited to my birthday party."
Said to a random person, it confuses the hell out of them.
If someone calls you a pussy, the best response is "you are what you eat, dick."
The best comeback to an insult in general is:
"Who is this clown?"
Because it not only calls them a clown, but it infers they aren't even popular enough to be a well-known clown.

"No u"
Mirroring works best if you monkey them. Just repeat the exact words just like in an ape voice. A little pantomime helps, too.

“Sorry, I’m not going to have a battle of wits with someone who is clearly unarmed.”
Ignoring them. Nothing grinds their gears more.
You are rubber, I am glue.
Don't you have that in reverse? It's supposed to bounce off of you and stick to me, which means you're supposed to be the rubber.
Behind you, a three headed monkey!
Someone asked if I was dropped as a baby due to my performance difficulties and I responded by saying she’d know it would've been worth it if she was ever held.
No one insults me, so these aren't field tested.
"Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called and they're running out of you."
"I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
"Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man."
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
"The ocean called. They're running out of shrimp!"
If someone calls you fat.
Ya I'm fat but I can lose weight. The hell are you going to do with that face.

"keep going with that, it's turning me on"
"I didn't realise the circus was in town!"
"Were your parents siblings, or was it just a lot of head trauma?"
"I'd tell you to read the room, but we both know reading isn't your strong suite."
"What other tricks can you do?"

"I've been called worse by better people".
So?
“Don’t get smart with me.”
“I’m beginning to doubt that’s even possible.”
Bonus points if you can say this to a cop.
The best response to every insult is "ok". Say that and walk away.
In my southern portion of the US, I find it better to just let shit slide. Never know who is armed with two short cannons, a .38 snub, and the reason for their lifted truck that has never seen "off" roads.
ignore entirely the context and the insult,"I need you to do two things: Shut up and go away."
If you want my cum back you'll have to scrape it off your mother's teeth - Jimmy Carr
Excuse me, did you mean to say that out loud?
and
Insecure much?
I think in general, sometimes a glittering beautiful so sharp it cuts to the bone comeback just comes to mind, and sometimes it doesn't, so it's good to remember that what people say, says more about them personally than the person they are talking about.
