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.

I thought the idiom means something like "feeling like an uninvited guest" (my French is very rusty) - so thanks you for your explanation.

But I see someone says that it is spelled incorrectly, so it can't be that.

Or... it can. If it's just a misspelling. Maybe the publishers will fix it in the trade paperback, like they did with Willow's eye color in The Long Way Home. :)

You know I'm happy you're still interested in BtVS and, at the same time, sorry that I can't say: "Join the discussion of this great season 8". I try to like it, but... *le sigh*
