Simple comeback to someone calling you a british word for cigarette: "No shit sherlock, how incredibly observant of you"

Fyi a removed is not a cigarette in Britain, that's simply a fag. "Can I bum a fag?" (can I have a cigarette for free?, usually asked to an acquaintance) is not an uncommon phrase.

A removed is a spiced and seasoned meatball consisting of meat, offal and breadcrumbs.

Edit: we have an auto censor I see. Very cool /s

Only with consent. And if you're lucky, he'll return the favor.
