When you take a sentence or phrase that someone has said (possibly an insult) and
twist it back around to insult or threaten them.
Sometimes extremely funny, other times extremly lame. Lame when you just
switch the subject (Example 1) and ultra-hilarious when used against
figures of authority (Example 2).
1. Cody: Henry, your entire family is gay.
Henry: No, your entire family is gay!
2. Mr. Kostick: Nate, move to the other side of the room. Leave
Aric alone, he actually has ambition of passing this class.
Nate
Godin: I have ambition of throwing a chair at your head.
Anthony: Good
inversion, Nathan. (Not actually said)
