摘要

There are many good thinkers around, but most are slow on the draw to respond to clever remarks with a witticism of their own. Only later do they think of an appropriate comeback. Well, here are a few items to store in your memory bank for such occasions. In describing a nonstop talker, one might characterize him as holding up his end of the conversation to the point of being perpendicular. A good description of a braggart is a self-made man who adores his maker. Something more subtle is to say of a haughty executive that he is one of the big guns of industry—having been fired several times.
