Repartardy<\/strong>: \/re-par-tar-dy<\/em>\/ Mike could only deliver brilliant repartardy to his mirror long after his guests had gone. He longed to be quick and witty; however, he was tongue-tied while he was being verbally filleted by his friends’ good natured bantering. As the Japanese proverb says: “He had many knives — none of them sharp.” Etymology:<\/em> repartee: swift, witty reply; a conversation marked with the exchange of witty retorts + tardy: arrive or occur after the expected time Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Retortoise<\/strong>: \/re TOR tus<\/em>\/ “Oh yeah? I’m a b—-? Well, uh, uh, I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter!” she retortoised, as he disappeared from view. Etymology:<\/em> retort + tortoise Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n

Hindsightjibe<\/strong>: \/hynde syte jybe<\/em>\/ Drew was famous for his hindsightjibes. When that snotty drag queen walked passed him and told Drew his fly was down (well, she actually said that he had left the garage door open on his dinky car)…he got tongue-tied and froze up(and not just because he had left that door open). Upon reflection, he should have yelled at her that the back of her dress was tucked into the top of her panty hose and a big long piece of arsewipe was stuck to the heel of her stilettos. But then he thought that he would just leave it to cleavage… Etymology:<\/em> Hindsight (understanding the nature of an event after it has happened) & Jibe (an aggressive remark directed at a person like a missile and intended to have a telling effect) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n
