The gentle art of verbal (self) dense Explanation: I believe I have also heard this referred to as verbal karate but that might be a bit much for your context! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-17 09:26:21 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Too fast on the keyboard there - that should of course be defense and not dense! |

exercises in riposte and repartee Explanation: would make sense in a public speaking seminar. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-17 09:47:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \'schlagfertig\' means never to be lost for words, always having an answer ready, usually a quick-witted, clever one. A \'riposte\' is exactly that - a quick, clever answer that \'hits the mark\'. Repartee, on the other hand, is a conversation based on a quick exchange of ripostes. www.public-speaking.org/ public-speaking-glossaryp-t-article.htm hope it helps |

peer agreement (net): +1the art of repartee Explanation: the skill of repartee, practice in repartee, or whatever. My dictionary defines repartee as "sharpness or wit in quick reply" which comes fairly close to verbal Schlagfertigkeit. |
