Definition
Characterized by being slow to think of witty responses; tending to realize clever remarks or arguments only after the moment has passed.
Etymology
From 'afterwit' plus the suffix '-ed' meaning 'having the quality of.' Describes someone who struggles with quick thinking or repartee in the moment.
Kelly Says
Scientists have found that some brains are wired for quick verbal comebacks while others process language more slowly but more deeply—so 'afterwitted' people might actually be making better jokes, just on their own schedule!
