BFC wins. On an unrelated note (the comeback would have been succesful, regardless) I don't think that referencing Parkinson's was entirely tasteful.

BFC-2
Phonox-2
Stevenson's Vocabulary Word of the Week:

Stevenson's Latin Phrase of the Week:

Brutum Fulmen: (senseless thunderbolt) This phrase, coined by Pliny the elder, is used to refer to an empty threat.

I would have a tougher time fighting my baby gerbil rather than than fighting you!

I've traveled the world, both far and wide, but I have never seen anyone idiotic enough to try and block the tip of a sword with his face. Also, yes I have looked in a mirror or any other reflecting object.

Hmm... BFC's retort doesn't quite do it for me. Too short and vague. Point to Phonox!

Hmm... Hard to decide with this one. BFC is certainly going in the right direction with his retort, I'm just not sure the wording works well enough. Silver, Stevenson, any thoughts?

It was supposed to be like me actually seeing it, then pointing it out.

He understands that, BFC. He's not an idiot. He's just saying it's hard to decide.

Yeah, I understand it just fine. I just think it's worded kinda awkwardly. Anyway, if Silver or Stevenson want to judge this one they're welcome to. If not, I'll make a decision in a day or two.

Hmm... I really, really don't like it as a retort, but... it gets the job done, so... I guess give BFC the point.

BFC - 3
Phonox - 4
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
