Comebacks That Will Make You Laugh Harder Than You Imagined

To describe this frustrating situation, Denis Diderot coined a famous phrase in the 18th century: "L'esprit de l'escalier," which, when translated into English, means "wit of the staircase." In simple terms, it refers to the perfect comeback that frustratingly comes to mind when the moment for delivering it has passed.
