Such a pity, though, that my ineptitude of inventing suitably cosmopolitan rejoinders in a timely fashion all too often interferes with my desire to voice my opinion of my fellow people in appropriate terms.
A comeback simply does not have the desired cutting edge if it's delayed by hours.

I should borrow my brother's mind. He at least can remember fitting Latin epigrams for most situations in life, even if he doesn't create them himself. Martial can be quite to the point, even several centuries after his demise.
