LONDON -- You know you've done something right when your comeback is good enough to start its own hashtag.

#ByeBrad has spread all the way from the UK to India in recent days, after a couple from Essex had a four-word Twitter exchange that went viral in a big, big way.

But first things first: Meet Bradley and Danni, a young couple from Colchester, Essex.

Judging by their tweets, Bradley and Danni enjoy a bit of banter on social media. But last Thursday, after Brad received his copy of the latest Fifa 16 game, they had the Twitter exchange to end all Twitter exchanges.

It started when Bradley tweeted a picture of his new game and a joke about leaving Danni.

As the retweets and favourites piled up, it looked like the round belonged firmly to Bradley.

But then Danni hit back in a big way.

Ouch.

Danni's comeback has since clocked up well over 9,000 retweets, spreading out from the UK as far as Canada, Rwanda, and Australia.

Luckily, Bradley seemed to see the funny side.

Nice work, Danni.
