l'esprit de l'escalier
When you're trying to be cool and the one thing you wanted to say leaves you and goes to your enemy's party.
My teacher said, 'You’re not even trying,' and I thought of 'At least I’m not you,' but I said nothing.
I told my crush I liked him, and he said, 'Cool,' and I thought of 'I’m not cool, I’m just awkward.'
I told my dad I was going to college, and he said, 'Cool,' and I thought of 'Cool, I’m finally leaving you.'
