Not feeling that I need to have the last word works well for me, and saves me an enormous amount of time.
I can’t imagine what could possibly have promoted this…
I notice long-nose had the last word, and it is the dog that terminated the argument by not responding.
(Also, ‘rebuttal’ is the noun form, ‘rebut’ is the verb form.
The bad grammar makes long-nose seem a bit ignorant)
Buttals make a loud whooshing sound.
John,
The guy in the cartoon is notoriously lazy and ignorant and his incorrect use of the words ‘buttal’ and ‘rebuttal’ is clearly deliberate by the cartoonist as part of the joke.
Thanks for the context, Mano.
It is true that there are plenty of people out there who seem to believe that if they get the last word, that means they won the argument. Nothing you can do about that sort. Just make your point (if you feel like getting into it at all) and then move on.
Once you’ve made your argument and repeated it 41 more times, there is nothing to gain by repeating one more time.

Once, plus 41 reps = ?.
Hats off for catching the reference.
