Palabras

I’ve just learned a new word. It’s “treppworter.” I’m told the meaning is similar to the French “esprit d’escalier.” It’s Yiddish, and it means “stairwords,” as in the words you wish you’d said at the party, but are only able to think of on the stairs, going home.

I’m going to get a lot of usage out of that.
