Inversion

When you take a sentence or phrase that someone has said (possibly an insult) and twist it back around to insult or threaten them.

Sometimes extremely funny, other times extremly lame. Lame when you just switch the subject (Example 1) and ultra-hilarious when used against figures of authority (Example 2).

1. Cody: Henry, your entire family is gay.
Henry: No, your entire family is gay!

2. Mr. Kostick: Nate, move to the other side of the room. Leave Aric alone, he actually has ambition of passing this class.
Nate Godin: I have ambition of throwing a chair at your head.
Anthony: Good inversion, Nathan. (Not actually said)
