Stair Wit


it is the feeling you get when after something has happened you think of all the things you could have said.

it originates from the french phrase ‘l’esprit d’escalier’ litterally translated as ‘wit on the stairs’ meaning the feeling you get when you fall down the stairs you think of all the witty things you could have said but didn’t.

max: “well it was nice seeing you…”
– max walks off –
