As a 39-year old word guy, it’s nice to come across a word or phrase I didn’t know existed.  That happened today with l’esprit de l’escalier.  That looks prettier than “Wayhomer” which is the expression I use (something funny you think of on the way home).   I say looks because I have no idea how to pronounce anything French.  Wikipedia says the German have the same expression.  It’s Treppenwitz.  That’s easy enough to pronounce.  Maybe we should come up with an English expression.  Would “jerkstore” do?
