clapback

An exercise where the pupil is instructed to repeat a previously played rhythm by clapping.

A witty or sarcastic retort.

While these bits of online affirmation are addicting, so too are the online takedowns, the clapbacks, the snark.

“My first truly viral video was a clapback to a nasty comment someone made about me being a stupid millennial and telling me to ‘go eat toast’,” Kung recalls.
