My friend Jim and I exchange interesting words we've come across all the time. Yesterday he sent me a great one -- 'Treppenwitz'. This is the term for when you think of a good response too late (from German, "stairway wit" -- wit that comes to you when you're already on the stairs). Use it in good health.

I had Treppenwitz in spades after my court appearance last month over a parking ticket. That was a story I'll have to relate some time...
