This list was suggested by Joseph Gardner and decided by me. Get writing in our suggestions forum and make stuff happen!
Queen of Thorns? You bet. It's undeniable that Olenna Tyrell has some of best, most sharp-witted lines in Game of Thrones. In this list, we're counting down the times she absolutely annihilated other characters with her pointed words.
10
Olenna treats Podrick like the servant he is (poor Pod)
Pod: *pouring wine*
Olenna: Boy, that's enough we're not in a tavern.
Pod: Pardon me.
Olenna: No need to speak. Are there any figs? Fetch some.
9
The High Sparrow gets roasted (again)
Olenna: You should have the decency to stand when you speak to a lady.
High Sparrow: You should have the decency to kneel before the Gods.
Olenna: Don't spar with me little fellow.
8
Now that is not an image I want in my head
Olenna: (To Varys) Oh please... Seduce away, it's been so long. Though I rather think it's all for naught. What happens when the non-existent bumps up against the decrepit?
7
Olenna teaches Sansa about the Lannisters
Olenna: Yes, all Lannisters are lions and when a Tyrell farts it smells like roses.
6 Olenna pars Loras and Mace in front of Margaery and Sansa
Olenna: Loras is young and very good at knocking men off horses with a stick. That does not make him wise. As for your fat head father...
5
Mace gets rave reviews from his mum
Olenna: Have you met the lord of High Garden?
Sansa: I haven't had the pleasure.
Olenna: No great pleasure, believe me. Ponderous oaf.
His father was an oaf as well...
4
Hmm, those Lannister family relations are quite
complicated, aren't they?
Olenna: Margaery is the Queen. You are not the
Queen because you are not married to the King. I do appreciate these things can get a bit
confusing in your family
Jaime and Cersei:....
3
Wtf is a Septa Unella?
Olenna: (to Cersei and Septa Unella) Does it move or talk?
2
Cersei gets rekt
Cersei: Ah yes, the famous tart-tongued
Queen of Thorns.
Olenna: And the famous tart: Queen Cersei
And Finally...

Olenna saves the Dorne storyline!
Olenna: What's your name again? Barbara?
Obara: Obara.
Olenna: Obara, you look like an angry little boy, don't presume to tell me what I need.
Nymeria: Forgive my sister. What she lacks in diplomacy, she ma--
Olenna: Do shut up dear. Anything from you?
Tyene:...
Olenna: No. Good, let the grown women speak.
That's the end of our list. Did we miss any of her most savage burns? What would you have added? Perhaps we missed the biggest burn of all, the burning of Olenna's entire family by Cersei. Hahaha let's see you respond to that one, Queen of Thorns *drinks wine*. Hahahahk *Chokes to death*. Oh.
