Ever had that moment after an argument with someone, or just a random off the cuff insult when you realise you should have said really cool but just couldn’t think of it at the time?
You’re probably nodding yes. If not, you’re either seriously cool, or have never expressed an opinion in your life.
The French term for this phenomenon is l'esprit de l'escalier (which, loosely translated, means staircase wit) and it describes the problem of thinking of the perfect comeback when it’s too late.
So maybe you should keep this hilarious movie insults in your back pocket (or, you know, bookmark it) so you’ll never be short of an insult again.
Just remember to alternate every now and then.
