How to Be Wittier
Here's how to get more witty.
Steps
- Keep your face straight when talking. That's the key.
- When your goal is to be witty, never be serious. You just have to know a lot of things and think fast. Try to exercise your mind, giving comebacks.
- In your commentaries that are supposed to be witty, say exactly the opposite of what you mean.
- If people don't laugh or smile then tell them you're not serious and say what you really mean.
- If people continue to take you seriously, smile and say "Nah, I didn't mean it" and then say what you really meant.
- Watch out for what you say. Try to not do personal or offensive jokes.
Tips
- LISTEN ATTENTIVELY! Always know what the people around you are talking about. Be aware of you situation.
- In case you become involved in an argument, always keep a smile on your face. Remain calm, cool, and collect. Poise and a casual manner are the key to a wily and witty manner.
- Expanding your vocabulary and brushing up on your creative thinking skills will definitely help you in speaking in a funny and original manner. This is the key to overall wittiness. The best way to do this is by reading some of the more satirical and learned authors out there! Ask an English teacher or book buff for help in locating books you will enjoy.
- Remain cool and pleasant in all you dealings with people. Be kind and remember use your wily powers for good, too. Give people original compliments as well as cute, joking put-downs.
- Remember, you can make a mistake or be wrong every now and then and still gain the reputation for being witty. Be gracious and never let your anger or your indignations get the best of you!
Warnings
- Don't pick on anyone or anything too much, otherwise you may become an unintentional bully, or you may develop habits of perpetual sarcasm.
