go on the attack with as much aggression, wit and vitriol as possible. if you're explaining yourself, you're on the defensive and have nothing to gain. makes you look like a whiny bitch, too.
you can turn a dis around, which is technically a "counter" and partly defensive. for example, when machine gun kelly said
"How could I even look up to you? You ain't as tall as me
5'8" and I'm 6'4", seven punches hold your head still"
and Em countered with
"But if I was three-foot-eleven
You'd look up to me, and for the record
You would suck a dick to fuckin' be me for a second"
but you can't straight up just say "no! no! i'm 5'9! and why does that matter anyway! height isn't important! it never bothered me!"
it's kind of like how in chess you aren't supposed to just react defensively to your opponent, you are supposed to attack, even when you have to "defend".
