Regretticism: That perfect, clever, zingy comeback one thinks of too long after the moment for it has passed, as in "Dang!! Why can I always come up with the best regretticisms for his nasty comments ten minutes after he leaves?"

Related to l'esprit de l'escalier (French) and Treppenwitz (German).
