Get the want a medal? mug.
smart and witty remark to be said in ANY situtation. When a person you dislike makes a small victory or boast about a minor things, bring them back down to the pits of hell (where they belong) by saying this phrase
"like omg, i totally fucked that guy at the party last weekend!"

"congratulations. do you want a medal, or a chest to pin it on?"

Get the do you want a medal? mug.
(Sarcastic idiom) When a grunt, that is, someone lower or equal to your standing, loudly expells massive braggadocio about a rudimentary action they have taken and succeeded in (or an action that the party using this idiom wishes to denounce as simple and childish), this phrase is brought out to denounce thier "crowning achievement".
A: I can run a mile in 5 minutes, swim the english channel, run accross africa in six weeks, bench 300 lbs, shoot a squirrels' eye from a half a mile, KO a bull in one punch and...

B: So what? You're a fag, do you want a medal for that too?
