リーダーズダイジェスト6月号のAsk Auntyのコーナーに、耳の大きい息子が学校でからかわれるので家で泣いてばかりいるが、からかう相手に息子が言い返すのに何か良い言葉を教えて欲しいとの質問がありました。
Is there a comeback I can teach him for when they tease?
"comeback" を辞書で引くと次ぎの説明がありました。
OneLook Quick Definitions: a quick reply to a question or remark (especially a witty or critical one)
Dictionary.com: a clever or effective retort; rejoinder; riposte: That was a great comeback the comedian made to the hecklers.
"comeback" にこんな使い方があるのですね。 ところで Auntyの回答は:
Teach your son to protect himself by being funny, or athletic, or smart, or to adopt some other role so he's more than just a set of ears to his peers.
