die Schlagfertigkeit

quick wit; ready repartee

Ihre Schlagfertigkeit bewundere ich besonders dann, wenn sie eine Spannung löst, statt lediglich einen pointierten Satz auf Kosten anderer zu formulieren.

I particularly admire her quick wit when it eases tension rather than merely producing a clever line at others' expense.
