No Shit Sherlock

You say it when someone points out something everyone already knows, like they just cracked a mystery… but they really didn’t.

Friend: “t’s raining, that’s why the ground is wet.

You: No shit Sherlock.

No shit, Sherlock.

When someone says someone is a dumbass and you become a smartass.

Sherlock: "It's cold today."

Watson: "No shit, Sherlock."

Sherlock: "F*ck you, Watson."
