- one of the things i like about stumbling is being able to add a witty remark to articals like this. and i will when i think of one. L'esprit de l'escalier (stairway wit) is the sense of thinking of a clever comeback when it is too late. The phrase can be used to describe a riposte to an insult, or any witty, clever remark that comes to mind too late to be useful--when one is on the "staircase" leaving the scene. The German word treppenwitz is used to express the same idea. The closest phrase in English to describe this situation is "being wise after the event". The phenomenon is usually accompanied by a feeling of regret at having not thought of the riposte when it was most needed or suitable.

- From the page: "The mind is a wonderful thing - there is so much about it which remains a mystery to this day. Science is able to describe strange phenomena, but can not account for their origins. While most of us are familiar with one or two on this list, many others are mostly unknown outside of the psychological realm. This is a list of the top ten strange mental phenomena."
