How to respond when someone says whatever

What can you say when some rude person looks at you and blurts out, “whatever!” Of course, it depends on how they say it and how much eye rolling is involved. If you are dealing with a snarky teenager you may hear whatever a couple a day.

When someone says whatever in rude tone they are being dismissive, telling you they couldn’t give a toss or to go away. Usually, it is meant in a rude and passive aggressive way.

Next time someone says whatever, use one of our snappy comebacks that will hopefully render the smart ass speechless!

  1. Their is a website for our school which we can post stuff on. Does anyone know a good comeback for this:
    My Friend: Tomorrow and after tomorrow I am not coming to school to study for the final exams.
    Me: what shall we do for you?
    My friend: shut up adam
    My Other Friend: HE OWNED YOU!
    Me: I don’t shut up, I grow up and when I look at you I throw up.
    *II OWNED HIM*
    My Other Friend (same guy who said that he owned me): What???

    Now what I want is to own this guy too so can anyone give me an awesome comeback to this? And thanks.

    1. I won’t spell it out for you, I left my English to the Dumbass dictionary at home which I bought for you —– say that! 😉

  2. lol this just shows us why you’re here lmao. A simple how-to for people looking for a way to retort is getting you all bent-up? “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

  3. Sometimes I get really mad at the idiots at my school. One example is where this person called Aiden said “Whatever” after I asked him what he did that weekend. And I love these examples! I think I will use some of them they really are very clever.

  4. You don’t need to respond when somebody says, “whatever”. In fact, in this scenario, “silence” is the best solution. I’m presuming here, that you’re referring to non-polite comments & if so, you can simply choose to ignore &/or walk away.

  5. here’s one for shut up(“But shut can’t go up.)
    It’s a nonsensical retort that’s meant to confuse anyone who hushed you.
