LGF - I saw on Green Wing (the hospital comedy series on channel 4) the most PERFECT sentence for you to say to that guy....
...when he's chattering on about being all cool-on-coke, say to him "oh actually, hang on, can I just stop you there a sec..." (as though you're just about to add to the stimulating debate)....
.....and get up and walk off. Genius

Shall put it in the bank of retorts to use on this idiot
. Sadly he was in my lab group and (unless the gods are watching and have got him kicked off the course) is likely to be again this year."someone jumped in the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn't looking"
"I never forget a face, but I'll make an exception just for you"
"I do hope to run into you again, preferably when I'm driving"
"Keep talking. I always yawn when I'm interested."
"Are you always so stupid or is today a special occasion?"
"Diarrhea of the mouth; constipation of the ideas."
"Go ahead, tell them everything you know. It'll only take 10 seconds."
"How did you get here? Did someone leave your cage open?"
"Whom am I calling "stupid"? I don't know. What's your name?"

'Your Mum!'
A friend of mine was chatting up a leggy blonde, and was somewhat deflated when she said 'You remind me of my father'...
The other one I heard on Radio 4 - 'Is that a ladder in your tights, or a stairway to heaven' - 'No thanks, there's already one arsehole up there' (that's the cleaner version, of course)

I've never understood the "Your Mum" one. Surely anyone would just laugh it off - what's to get offended by?
It's power is not to be literally offensive. It's the punch-in-the-balls of an otherwise Queensbury Rules fight.
Ok, so similar to "WhatEVER!"
No. That particular cop-out should never be uttered outside the playground gates and does not require the deft contextual timing of "your mother".

So still fits with the "Your Mum" one as well.
