If you, like me, have a cold, cold heart, you should come and warm yourself by the fire with these hot Twitter burns. Twitter is a strange place. If we’re not dunking on each other politically or philosophically, we’re trying to one-up each other with jokes. And that sounds cynical, because it is, but it’s also kind of a lot of fun.
Often times, a solid Twitter reply will gain so much heat that the person getting dunked on will erase the original tweet, but screenshots are forever. To be good-natured, we’ve covered up the screen names of any such deleted bits. After all, we can’t start taking Twitter too seriously.
10. Holy crap
(The original tweet came from a woman who maybe didn’t realize what she was walking into.)

My favorite thing about this Grinch account is that it was made when the movie came out and then just vanished.

Another “I have money and you don’t” burn that’s hard to be mad about.
