I came across a post with a number of quick-witted repartees (‘ll reveal it later so as not to spoil it). I like these so I’ll be putting them up over the next few days.
And as a reminder:
A swift, witty reply.
Conversation marked by the exchange of witty retorts.
A ready, pertinent, and witty reply.
Such replies in general or collectively; the kind of wit involved in making sharp and ready retorts.
So, just to let you know, our Founding Fathers often had quick turns of phrase and I’m not just talking about Ben Franklin’s response to the question of “What have you given us”? “A Republic, if you can keep it.” This one took me by surprise – Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson
“There are approximately 1,010,300 words in the English language, but I could never string enough words together to properly express how much I want to hit you with a chair.”
