There are so many words like this! There are even phrases which, in my opinion, is really cool! Like in French they have a phrase for when you think of a comeback a little too late. It's called, "L'esprit de l'escalier." This literally translates into the spirit of the staircase. This guy used it once because he was in a predicament at the top of the stairs, and couldn't think of anything to say until he got back to the bottom of the stairs saying, "A man like me can only think clearly once I reach the bottom of the stairs."
