What is Staircase Wit?


1.

thinking of the right answer too late; the perfect, usually piercing, riposte that you conceive only when replaying a verbal exchange later in your head

from the French l'esprit d'escalier, the witty repartee you thought of as you're going downstairs to leave

I muttered something like "Well it's not".

What I SHOULD have said:

Considering her name, "OK, to cement this 'affectionate' relationship, I'll call you An(n)us."
