ah, l'esprit d'escolier

Well, I thought it meant "spirit of the stairway", and what it is, is a French term for AFTER an important event has occurred, when you think of all the really great things you should have said/done while it was happening. But I see someone says that it is spelled incorrectly, so it can't be that. Huh.
