Your Face
A one-size-fits-all retort guaranteed to amuse or annoy.

For reasons that elude linguists, sociologists, and recipients alike, the phrase is sometimes held by its proponents to be the greatest comeback ever, and one to which no reply is possible.

Several studies have found a relationship between the humor value of "your face", the number of repetitions, and the average age of the audience. A commonly cited example gives the relationship as:

humor = 2^(n * (1 - abs(13 - age)))

This model predicts that for ages 12-14 "your face" never gets old. For age 13 its humor grows geometrically, hence a sequence of "your face" retorts may only end due to anoxia or exhaustion.

For everyone else "your face" just isn't funny.

Bob: dood, whut up.

Alice: your face is lame.
Bob: don't make me come over there.
Alice: don't make me come over your face.
Bob: that's whack.
Alice: your face is whack.

Your Face Is
Second of a logical progression of traded insults that can be applied to any statement, providing the other person plays along. Can be used when another person tries to turn an offhand statement back on you. Providing you are the one to make this statement, your victory is guaranteed.

Upon stating that something is (adjective) and having another person turn this back on you by stating that YOU are (adjective), you will respond that their face is (adjective). They will try to counter that your mother is (adjective), but upon stating that their mother is a whore, you will win, because nothing beats that.

Your opponent might predict where this is going early on and try to break order, but this just shows them to be a fucking douche.

Originates from a strip in the Gigaville webcomic.

A: That's fucking stupid.
B: You're stupid.
A: Your face is stupid.
B: Your mom's stupid.
A: Your mom's a whore.
B: Oh yeah, well... shit.
