Wit
Wit is a form of intellectual humor in which a funny man is smarter than you.
Quip
A quip is a sarcastic observation that you have no idea what we’re talking about.
Repartee
Repartee is the end.
And again, in all seriousness…
Wit is a form of intellectual humor, and a wit is someone skilled in making witty remarks. Forms of wit include the quip and repartee.
A quip is an observation or saying that has some wit but perhaps descends into sarcasm, or otherwise is short of point; a witticism also suggests the diminutive.
Repartee is the wit of the quick answer and capping comment: the snappy comeback and neat retort. (Wilde: “I wish I’d said that.” Whistler: “You will, Oscar, you will”.)
