: : You are having a heated discussion with someone. You feel
that little "ouch" in your soul. You leave and on the way home you
think of a million things you could have said to that person but
it is too late.
: : The expression for this occurence is French and has the word
"stairs" in it which when translated from the French would mean
sorta like "a witty repartee from the stairs".
: : Anybody?
: l'esirit de l'escalier
: The spirit of the staircase. Earlier discussion available (type
staircase into search box)
I searched via all sorts of keywords except the obvious.
