Ann CoulterI love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.
About This Quote
When you are stumped by an opponent in a verbal fencing match, it is often to your advantage to engage in repartee. Repartee is when you make fun of your opponent or their ideas. You can also say that there is no need for repartee when you are in agreement with your partner. It is not necessary to engage in repartee in order to be in agreement.
The idea of repartee rests on the idea of being able to get someone to laugh at themselves and it can be quite an effective tactic if done correctly. As long as you are certain of the facts and not engaging in a debate on points, then this tactic can be quite effective.
