This is a question Devastating Put-Downs

Amorous Badger says: I once saw a former manager of mine being asked to 'sit down and let your mouth have a chance to speak' by his senior. What's the best heckle/putdown/riposte you've ever seen? (Hint: Recycled 'Your mum' jokes does not make an answer)

Steven Pinker?

Was it
Strawson, Hawthorne or David Lewis?

Although I suspect that picking a fight with Lewis would have garnered a much more robust response/violence.

I honestly have no idea.
It was a long time ago, and, like I said, I was attending mainly out of a sense of obligation. Mind and language stuff generally leaves me cold, and always has.
