Guy I know (literally he was in my class just before lunch), to his friend under his breath: “yo there’s a <f-slur> behind you.”
Me, standing behind the friend: “*excuse* me?”
Him: “I said ‘there’s a flagpole behind you’”
*A minute of talking and glaring later, he apologized (insincerely, but still it was funny to make this 6’2” joke of a boy apologize to me)*
The best save he had was literally “flagpole”-
