Staircase wit: esprit de l'escalier

Afterwit, staircase wit, or L'esprit de l'escalier is the regret one experiences when you think of the perfect answer too late, especially to a humorous remark.

If only I had thought of that sooner!

Any good examples when you conjured up your witty punchline or repartee too late?

In the past Irish politicians received training in order not to be caught out; Terry Prone prepared Irish politicians such as Charles Haughey in this essential political skillset.

I am always jealous of the very witty . Someone I know forgot the lady he accompanied to a party’s name but got away with ‘ A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’

An excellent, but rather nebulous reply that got him out of a hole!

Think he was trying to get into one in fairness
