l’esprit de escalier

This word should exist in the English language because it happens to me constantly.  constantly.  I mean so much that I have lost countless opportunities and have no idea how things would have turned out had I thought of things sooner.

  2. it's my favorite french phrase, well it's the only french phrase that i know. it basically means that you missed the opportunity to say something or that you thought of a witty come back way too late.
