if their initial trashtalk was dumb, and you reply with wittier and more clever trashtalk, they'll just keep replying with more stupidity, never really acknowledging your superior wit in their replies, in each of which they are always declaring themselves the winner and saying nothing new other than "retard", and really enjoying every moment of it, until you eventually stop and they declare themselves the winner. and you just end up feeling dirty in the end because there's something self-denigrating and dirtying about trashtalking, and that's what they enjoy about it. pigs love getting dirty in the mud, after all, but not civilized people.
you lose the moment you do it. not in the sense that you can't "beat" them at it, but in the sense that to trashtalk is itself to lose.
