T-Rex: "L'esprit d'escalier" means, literally, "the wit of the staircase"!
T-Rex: (It's French!)
T-Rex: It refers to when you think of a witty comeback too late, and you've already left the room!
T-Rex: Of course, this idea is largely alien to ME, as I'm never at a loss for a witty riposte!
T-Rex: However, it seems for others, thinking of the perfect comeback hours, or even days later, is a more-than-rare occurrence.
Utahraptor: You've got a pretty high opinion of your wit, T-Rex!
T-Rex: As usual!
Utahraptor: Yes, as usual. What if I made a stinging insult in your direction - would you be able to come up with the perfect rejoinder?
T-Rex: I would!
Utahraptor: Well then! How are you going to answer... THIS!
Narrator: SHORTLY:
Off panel: Good one!
T-Rex: Thanks!
