When someone calls you gross, it means they perceive you to be disgusting which is a mean word to say to someone.
In most cases, people call you gross because of your appearance, your speech, or your outfits.
Nonetheless, it’s not a justification for their rudeness or a recourse for them to pass derogatory remarks on you.

1. Your mama had a worst nightmare. You!
The next time someone calls you gross, make it a “you” problem by excluding yourself from the equation using this clever one-liner on them.
This comeback is a perfect one to show them you are not to be toyed with derogatory words.
With this remark, you are indirectly pointing at their stupidity, while shifting focus from you which is a great way to leash out a comeback.
- Anytime your mama sees you, she falls into instant depression.
- Your mother always wishes you were just another bad dream and not her reality.
2. You should know when to shut up, since you appear sensible
When you stage this statement to someone who calls you gross, you are implying that the person chatters unnecessarily. Besides, what is a good comeback if it doesn’t shun such person in question?
Use this provocative yet clever comeback for your name-calling guy to prove to them you are in no way in their league.
- Since this is an unsolicited opinion, how about you shut up?
- Aside from your bad attitude, you need to be taught when and when not to speak.
3. You still have a long way to go before you are mediocre.
You also need to give them a piece of their own truth, and with this comeback, you will achieve that and even more.
You will agree with me that only toxic people and people with lower IQs call people hurtful names, and this is just what you are portraying to such a person with this comeback.
The added advantage is that you aren’t just stating facts with this roast, you are watching them burn on their seat from the heat of these words; just in the same manner the truth hurts.
- You had the choice to choose something out of life and you chose to be mediocre. What a pity!
4. Don’t blame me for your stupidity. Take that up with your mom and dad.
Instead of dwelling on the disgusting concept, take a proactive swerve into the moment by targeting their lives rather than centering the conversation around yours.
There is a mental effect this tactic has on the abuser and it’s that the person who had earlier called you gross shift from you to reflect on themselves as they rethink their problem.
- Don’t let out your aggression on me for being stupid. Take it all out with your parents.
5. Someday, you will go far away from this vicinity. I hope you stay there forever.
Another creative way to get back at verbal bullies or people who call others names is to show them that you care less about their existence and whatever they utter from their mouths.
When you show them how much less you care about them, you will cease being their prey forever.
- You bring so much joy and happiness when you are far away.
6. I’d give you a terrible look, but you’ve already got one.
There is something creative and witty about turning the tables around such that the predator becomes the prey in the long run why you bask in a winning armor.
The next time someone calls you gross, let them know they are something worse than being disgusting by using this expression on them.
- I’d call you a simpleton but that is an understatement for you. You look worse than that.
7. There are a handful of dumb people in this world, and I have just met their commander.
The best comeback for verbal bullies is when you intimidate and pose yourself as a threat to them.
Use this classic comeback to tell them that you have got thick skin and they didn’t succeed in getting under your skin.
Trust me, they will get tired and stop using you as an object of their folly.
- From afar, I saw an award on your table, it read “most outstanding” and on a closer look at it I saw the full inscription and it reads; “Most outstanding fool”. Well, I didn’t think less; that award is most deserving.
8. You have your entire life to be a jerk. Why not take today off?
Another effective way to get at verbal bullies is to make them realize they are in a more terrible situation than you are, hence the reason they harbor so much pain in them and the more reason they act like total jerks.
When someone calls you gross and you use this statement to reply to them, then you are implying that they have got more personal problems to deal with.
- You have your entire life to be a dunce, so why not take a day off?
9. I envy people that have never met you.
Passing on a pitiful remark to someone who calls you gross is a strategic thing to do to them. It shows you are the one with a higher IQ, and even gets to play at their own stupidity.
This insult will sit well on them especially when you make a miserable countenance in your delivery.
- Your future acquaintances should be given a ‘liable to become miserable upon meeting” warning notice before you associate with them.
10. Of course, I am gross. Only gross people know their kind.
This is a play on their usage of words to make the person feel like the loser they are for calling you gross in the first place.
This statement acts like a boomerang on them and insinuates they are not smart enough so they gave a leeway to be attacked.
11. Even though I’m not a psychologist, I know an asshole when I see one.
Giving out this response shows your own level of wit, boldness, and confidence and presents you as someone formidable.
By giving out this reply, believe me when I say the person already would feel defeated.
- I’m not a doctor of rectum and anus but I clearly know an asshole is seated in front of me.
12. I cherish the time I don’t spend with you.
Again, saying you care less about their opinion is another effective way to ward off verbal bullies. Verbal bullies indirectly seek validation from you and it could be from your reactions.
When they notice you get hurt by almost all they say, they increase the heat but if you act like they don’t matter a bit, they feel defeated and are forced to quit the bullying.
- I would rather sleep all day than sit with you.
- I would rather sit and watch Mom’s show all day than spend a minute with you.
13. Your face makes onions cry.
If you are being called gross based on the context of your physical appearance or facial looks, it is clever to immediately make them the subject of ridicule by replying to them with this snappy comeback.
This comeback will surely hit them hard.
- Even baboons still rank higher than you in a facial contest.
14. Your ass must be really jealous of all the mess that comes out of your mouth.
This is a witty way to devalue them for calling you gross. Sometimes all they need is a response to cut them off and it doesn’t mean you are stopping low to their level.
Giving them a low comparison is a clever way to keep their uncouth mouth off your business next time.
- Your ass and your mouth have something in common: both spill shit.
15. The last time I saw something like you… I flushed it in the water closet.
When someone says you are gross, automatically they expect an emotional downcast from you but this time around you are doubling the heat and then passing it to them while it is brewing hot steam.
By this, you are showing them who the bigger boss is.
- I thought of you today. It reminded me to take out the trash.
16. I could eat a plate of alphabet soup and still poop out a sensible statement than whatever you just said.
Again, this is a very clever response to use at someone who calls you gross. Here, you are putting them in a position beneath you and would definitely make them feel defeated.
17. People like you are the reason I’m on pills.
Another witty response to use in someone who calls you gross. Here, you are cleverly calling them a venomous person and thereby should be controlled or even segregated from proper human beings.
For this purpose, you are implying that they are also gross.
- People like you are the reason why they entrenched “social distance” in the Constitution.
18. Grab a straw, because you suck.
When someone calls you gross, chances are they are bitter people. Use this response to highlight their bitter mood and also use it against them.
19. Remember when I ask for your opinion? Me neither
This is another clever way to tell them you don’t give a heck about their opinion towards you and also a witty way to tell them to keep shut. By saying this, you put them in an awkward situation.
- You appear as someone who has sense until you open your mouth and boom! Every conviction of that assumption disappears.
20. Calling you an idiot will be an insult to all stupid people.
This is a clever comeback to use for someone who calls you gross. When someone calls you gross, it portrays the kind of person that they are, their personality, and what they are made of.
Replying them with this statement is a creative way to pick on their stupidity and a mind game to use for verbal bullies.
- Saying you are an idiot is a great insult to other stupid people.
