    I have found that calmly locking eyes with someone that says something like that and asking them what that means tends to completely shake them. If it’s a group of them, it may work, or they’ll just resort to throwing lines that have been prewritten for them back and forth. Still, even then, asking them to explain what that means tends to blunt all their fun.

    The key part is to not show any kind of emotion - innocently ask them what that means. Maybe even a slight smile. It totally ruins it for them. They want to feed off of outrage.
