Related: About this forumCarrying on discussions about religion requires wit.
There is an established hierarchy of people's wit. From maximum to minimum, it goes:
Quick-wit
Halfwit
Dimwit
Nitwit
Lackwit
The parameters for each level are not precise. Thus it is unwise to apply those labels to others or to yourself in a public way.

Besides, it uses a bad word, and my mother might read this, see...so don't fuckwit me....

I found it to be one word, lackwit.
I was witless.
MineralMan
(147,576 posts)4. Hmph! I separated the words intentionally to
maintain uniformity.
Croney
(4,923 posts)5. I figured that out. As I said, I was witless.
I really hadn't heard the word before.
Hey wait a minute. Quickwit is not a word.

So keep your wits and correct your grammar.
