"Whatever" is my favorite response to dumb comments. Mentally, I sometimes think "kiss my a$$"

I generally just shake my head and roll my eyes, the recipient gets the drift.

I've told people to bite me. Also to step off. Not to mention some other less polite suggestions.
Amen!

Guessing very few long-termers on SF would be surprised by my acknowledging that. Timidity has never been my style.

Nope. Just don't say it to vampires, and you'll be fine. Or to cannibals.

No. Not the "big time" part, anyway. And, generally speaking, if I want to say it, I do. But I don't like the phrase Bite Me. Makes me wince. I prefer various other phrases (it would be improper and/or offensive to give an example).
Oh, so sorry for sayin Bite me. No offence intended friend!
Nope, I would not say that, like Murrmurr, I don't like the phrase.
If I don't agree, I will state my opinion, than not engage in the back and forth tripe. No one is going to change my opinion, and I am sure I will not change theirs if they are that adamant.
I will give a good stare, and walk away.

Gosh, what if someone actually bit you?
I was just stating if anyone wanted to say it... doesn't matter if they will say it... it's in the mind only dear.

Bite Me is generally not used as the kind of put down that F-you would be. It's more humorous.
In my experience it's generally employed in this kind of situation:
"Hey, it's 100° out. How about if you run to the store and get us all popsicles while we stay cool in the pool?"
The appropriate response? "Bite me..."

Right?
That's why I'll only use that one with people I know for sure won't take me literally.

No....no biting. A little harmless gnawing is ok, just, you know, keep it under control.

True, but to me it sounds too much like an invitation. And there's a lot of crazy-people out there.

I generally just walk away. If I find it really offensive, they get F-off.
