quipportunity

A quipportunity is the fleeting moment when a clever response is both timely, and funny.

Etymology: The word is an amalgam of 'quip' and 'opportunity' capitalizing on 1) the shared 'p' and 2) the fact that the 'portunity' portion of the word opportunity carries all of the meaning even without the displaced prefix.
I recently had a missed quipportunity when I told my sister that we saw the 2012 "Spider-Man" movie, and she asked how it was. I said it was "awesome," but the missed quipportunity was to reply, "Amazing" (since the name of the movie is "The Amazing Spider-Man").

Quippoorwill

Neal: All this talk about the economy has got me depressed. I'm gonna go spend my last ten bucks on a six-pack of non-alcoholic beer and get 0.5% drunk.
Bob: No, don't do it!
Neal: I could probably pick it up at Whole Foods. Do you think they'll let me in without my North Face windbreaker and overbrewed coffee?
Bob: Dude, you're like a quippoorwill, or something...
Neal: I got more quips than Picasso got paint.

quippit

When you have Anal sex ("forgetting" a condom, of course) and are finished, there is going to be an amount of poo packed into your cock nostril. Afterwards, when you goto the bathroom, the pressure in the urethra forces the poo out in banana shape. Placing a small quippit sieve in the toilet will allow you to collect these mysterious treasures. Legend has it, if you collect 10 of these and bury them in the garden, you will be rewarded with 10 years of good luck.

quipping

Quipping is the method many video game developers use to avoid the workload involved with voice acting; it is the use of short phrases or sounds (grunts, laughter, etc.) in the place of fully voiced lines of dialogue.
The quipping in Fire Emblem seems kinda lazy, but I guess it saves time and money during production.
