Whitt Switch

Following a statement from Party A to Party B, a "Whitt switch" refers to a retort from Party B to Party A in which Party B changes a word or phrase from Party A's statement, but considers the latter statement to be original.

When the bill arrives at an expensive restaurant, Party A turns to Party B and says "Don't you owe me for lunch last week when I paid for your meal at the Palmetto Pig?" {Everyone laughs} Party B retorts, "Don't you owe me from that day I bought you lunch at Wendy's?" {Silence}
