PITHY

My brother Les' remark about the 6,500-7,000 attendees at the Demolition Derby (see Record-Herald article):

"And yet, only 1,500 came out to vote in the election."

I said, "I'm going to use PITHY to describe that comment."

I was corrected, "Nah, I don't think that's right; I think smart-ass is more accurate."

I Googled "pithy"; of course, Les is right!

I said, "How about TRENCHANT?" Nope, he's right again.

I said, "I think ACERBIC would be good"; nope, Les' right again.

NONE of my "fancy-schmancy" words are gonna work; yep, SMART-ASS is the only one which perfectly describes his remark!
