A common response in a debate--usually on an online forum--when a person can't really refute their opponent's argument but wants to sound intelligent anyway.
Person A: "'The Wizard of Oz' is the greatest cinematic achievement of the 20th century."
Person B: "What a ridiculous thing to say! What about 'Star Wars?' 'The Breakfast Club?' Or 'The Matrix?'"
Person A: "'The Wizard of Oz' is more quotable, had better character and plot development, appealed to a larger audience and still dazzles fans with it's comparatively primitive special effects to this day."
Person B: "'The Wizard of Oz' sucks and I hope you don't reproduce, you have no business being a parent."
Person A: "I see. You must have developed your debate skills in an American public school. Nice."
