pasdict 

The situation where something was said by someone else and a good or effective response only comes to mind afterwards, often when too late to use. The roots of the word are past and diction.

Things you wish you had said at the time.
Can also be used as pasdiction - an instance of pasdict, pasdictedly - a prior pasdict, pasticter - one who has pasticted.

A belated pasdict made him chuckle to himself, though he wished he had been quick witted enough to say it at the time.

Pastictedly the perfect response came to mind.
Always the pasdicter, words and phrases now rushed into his head, too late to be useful.
