You know how some people can come up with a snappy answer right on the spot while some people think of a good comeback on the way home? Me? It takes me decades:^)

The French have an expression for that, from Diderot - l'esprit de l'escalier, or "staircase wit". It's the clever retort that you think of about twenty minutes after the conversation is over. Maybe for you it can be "where-was-this-cleverness-about-twenty-years-ago? wit" :^)

I shall call my wit, esprit de décennies.

Cordially,
