vocabulary简明 | A comeback is a quick, witty reply. “Your mama” is a lame comeback but a popular one. It's also a return to prominence after a break, like an athlete who retires and then makes a comeback by returning to the sport. |
vocabulary扩展 | If someone insults you, and you say something back that turns the insult around, that's a comeback. Nice job.
