As this is a car forum.....from perhaps the greatest film ever.....
If you see somebody you know driving a flash car......
"Hey is that really you in that car?" (Driver will look well chuffed, as he has been "seen" )
"Gee what a waste of beautiful machinery......."
They also use "Your mother" as in insult in the same said film, so the phrase is not some modern gangsta speak.

A lot of these comebacks can be neutralised with the response "you know, that was quite effective the first time I heard it."
For added weight, you can add "but after the first few hundred times it kind of lost its effect a bit".
If you actually know where it comes from then you can use the equally devestating "that was quite witty and original when Winston Churchill first said it" (for example).
