We all know what Moron means and no one wants to be called that.
Some people may try to use the word as a joke but it is very similar to idiot and other insulting words in the English language. While you can jokingly address your friend as an idiot, not everyone will find it funny to be called that. It’s the same when you call someone a moron.
Friends may find it funny to insult each other but it can be very embarrassing. You probably don’t find it funny. Some people can even be serious about it and you have no idea how to respond. Check the nice comebacks in the below list.
What To Say When Someone Calls You A Moron
- I already know your name

- I’d give a fortune not to think like you
- That’s the worst you could think of?
- Your father failed to name you that.
- Look in the mirror and you’ll see what a moron is.
- Can you spell Moron?

- The word for your Ignorant ness is yet to be discovered
- I didn’t think you’d say your name so loud. Now, the world knows.

I already know your name
This is a nice response to give when a person calls you a moron. You are probably walking down a staircase and an old friend or competitor calls you Moron from a distance. As funny as it may sound, the reaction of people around you may get you embarrassed. By giving this reply, you will be sending the insult back.
You can use this in public. You can also use it in a private space. You can even use it when it wasn’t said as a joke. Instead of getting embarrassed at a meeting, you appear confident and the person is stunned for a moment as he thinks of another way to insult you.
You’re my role model and I’m still not Ignorant enough
If you are a lover of comebacks or you’re familiar with many, you should know this is one of the best comebacks ever. One of the best ways of amplifying an insult and shooting it back is by embracing it first and comparing yourself to the person.
In this case, you admit that you might be a moron. However, you are not giving him/her the chance to laugh about it. By saying this, you are calling t the person a bigger moron. You are also adding that you are working hard to get to his/her level of Ignorant ness.
If there is anyone around, they will burst out in laughter. Some may consider you immature though.
Jerry: You are a moron.
Dan: You are my role model and I’m still not Ignorant enough.
I’d give a fortune not to think like you.
This is a way of replying to an insult with an insult. The insult you are using, in this case, is very similar. That makes it beautiful. It is even perfect because you are not only using a similar insult but you are indirectly comparing. In other words, your insult outweighs the one that has been said to you.
Moron is used to refer to a Impaired person. By giving this response, you will be telling him/her that you prefer to remain a moron than to think like him/her.
That’s the worst you could think of?
This is not a comeback but it is a nice response to give in an official environment. The person will be considered immature. Your insult may also be considered immature so it is better to use more decent responses.
By asking this question, you are not insulting the person but you are remaining confident. When you ask this question, you show that you are unaffected by the insult that has been said to you by keeping a confident look on your face.
The person may be stunned by your quick response and will probably stutter as he/she tries to respond to you quickly.
Your father failed to name you that
This is one of the best comebacks you can introduce in a verbal quarrel. You take the insult that has been said against you and throw it back in a creative way.
While the person has called you a moron, you are throwing it back to the person as the perfect name for him/her. This insult will be felt much better than the one that has been said to you.
Look in the mirror and you’ll see what a moron is
This is a nice comeback too. It is similar to the one above since you are throwing the insult back at the person. However, this one may not hit as hard due to component words that are often used in many other insults.
This is a nice comeback because, when you have turned the insult around, it will sound Impaired if the person tries to use the insult again. You can temporarily stop the person from calling you a moron.
However, using this comeback in an official environment may not be considered nice. You both will be considered immature.
Can you spell Moron?
This is one of the best comebacks you can ever use. It is a perfect one if you want to stun the person but do not relax after saying this. There is a slight chance that the person is ready with more insults but this should stun the person for a moment.
You won’t be insulting the person directly but there is a weird challenge in the question you ask. The challenge is a big insult and may be considered more insulting than moron. You are even calling the person a moron for being unable to spell the word.
How else would I look like your dad?
This is a great comeback for any insult. It is a dirty way to play the game and some people consider it wrong. However, there is almost nothing wrong when two people are having a serious fight.
This is a way of embracing the insult and throwing it back at the person. It has an even worse effect when you direct the insult at someone that is found important by the other person.
While both of you may be considered immature for insulting each other publicly, you will be considered even more childish for insulting the other person’s parent.
It’s not funny
This is a nice reply if the person is saying it as a joke. It will be considered a mature one too. Just make sure to keep a confident look on your face as you speak.
If it is not a joke, you can still say this. If you reply sharply, you will make the person prove why you deserve to be called a moron. This is not the best response but it should be fine if you are not doing something that makes you look like an actual moron.
Who’s more Impaired than someone looking for morons to count?
You are indirectly embracing the insult with this response but also throwing back a similar insult. You will be indirectly calling the person Impaired .
If the person was serious about the insult, there is a high chance he/she will view this as a challenge and push the initial reason for the insult aside while focusing on insulting you back.
It is not the best response since you will both appear immature. However, you don’t get to look Impaired in front of everyone.
You can count more morons at your family home
This is a way of embracing the insult and throwing it back. You are indirectly admitting that you are a moron but also throwing the insult at someone the person cares about.
It is as dirty as insulting the person’s parents so you may not have to say this. However, it is still one of the best comebacks. Just be ready when the person tries to insult your parents or your family too.
That’s what your name sounds like when pronounced correctly
With this, you are not embracing the insult. You are simply taking the insult out of the person’s mouth and throwing it back at the person. It is a perfect way to say comebacks.
Using this in an official environment won’t speak well of either of you so you should probably handle the insult maturely.
No name fits you better
This is similar to the example above. It is just much shorter.
With this, you won’t be embracing the insult but taking the insult out of the person’s mouth and throwing it back at the person.
You may be considered immature for responding in this manner to the immature insult. However, in a less official environment, you don’t care.
You will probably be a better person as a moron
By saying this, you are indirectly telling the person he/she is worse than a moron. Also, while you are not embracing the insult, you are not doubting that you are a moron.
It is not a perfect comeback. It also won’t make you look as immature as you would seem if you use a proper insult. However, it is still not a polite response.
The word for your Ignorant ness is yet to be discovered
This is an indirect way of embracing the insult. By saying this, you are also insulting the person in a similar but amplified manner.
You are telling the person that you might be a moron but he/she is worse. You can use this as a comeback when no one is watching. You don’t want anyone calling you immature. It should arouse some laughter though.
I didn’t think you’d say your name so loud. Now, the world knows
This is quite long. If you feel you don’t have the time to say so many words, you may pick a shorter option. However, this is a nice comeback.
It is similar to some of the options above but the choice of words in an insult always makes it special. You are indirectly pushing the insult back at the person in an even more embarrassing way.
I’d still think better than you, even without a brain
When you say this, you have indirectly accepted that you are a moron. You are also automatically throwing back the insult in your comparison.
You are referring to the person as being more Impaired than the most Impaired version of you. This is a great comeback to turn the joke away from you.
However, like other insults on the list, you will be considered immature if you say this.
Respect yourself
This is a nice response in an official environment. With this, you are responding without insulting the other person.
If the person continues to speak, you can just keep telling him/her to respect himself or herself. You can say this, even if you deserve to be called a moron.
You’re much better at being a moron if we’d be honest
This is a perfect comeback for embracing an insult, amplifying it, and throwing it back at a person.
You admit that you are a moron but you also admit that the other person is better at being a moron than you are.
I will just ignore you and walk away
This is the perfect reaction in an official environment. By ignoring it, you may be considered to be very mature. The other person, however, will be considered childish for using that insult against you.
If it isn’t an official environment, you can also walk away but make sure you don’t react as you care.
Conclusion
Moron is rarely used as a joke but it is good to not act like a moron when you are called the name. It is nice to ignore such insults but some people deserve a taste of their medicine. The list above should help with that.
