When my daughter was being teased for being bad at math I encouraged her to get so good at math that, not only would they stop teasing, they would start asking her for help. It worked and now she is in the "tough" math class. As for your every day teasing, having a ready supply of comebacks is the best thing to do. Wit always wins in a game of words. Just don't forget the too-smart come back. If your son delivers a comeback that is over the kids' head (like the fly one) teach him to take advantage of any pause and say, "It's ok, I'll wait while you go look that up in a dictionary." Too funny.
