    I need good comebacks!

    Sometimes me and my Russian friend has like "married couple" fights

    Ты рахнулась?
    Пизделуй тебе мало!
    Сварливая!

    Maybe it's a bit childish but it's fun and I learn new words

    Any recommendation for good replies/snappy comebacks to show her I also have cool and funny vocabulary? Especially a reply to Пизделуй тебе мало? She started using it a lot lately!

    Ты рехнулась? "Are you crazy?"
    Пиздюлей тебе мало! rude, mat; something like "it was not enough to kick your ass", not literal, though. You could say "могу и тебе отвесить" in reply. It implies you realise the context very well and that sounds properly. )
    Сварливая! "Shrew!"

    Also, for kidding female friends, you can use "деловая колбаса" (it seems I've told you or maybe someone else), literally it means "business sausage", but in fact that's a slang word for the women who try to look/act like a business lady (manners, clothes etc). So when your female friend will hurry somewhere, you may use it.

    Interesting! How would you exacty translate "могу и тебе отвесить" Like, I can take you down?

    "деловая колбаса" - I kinda doubt she'll know it as she's no longer living in a Russian speaking country and familiar with more outlandish expressions of the language.

    Edit: I was wondering whether to move this thread to generation discussion is more appropriate?

    Valda, you should learn mat and figure it out for this, because it's kinda sub-language. "Отвесить пиздюлей" is translated something like "to kick ass" (mostly physically). So, when you say in reply "я могу и тебе отвесить" it sounds like "I can kick your ass too".
    Anyway, when a woman uses mat she looks like a whore or an ugly "woman with balls". So, decent Russian women use these words very rarely.

    P.S. Valda, why did you deactivate your FB account? It was suddenly.
