Definitions

  1. make jokes or quips

Word origin

From a shortening of earlier quippy, perhaps from Latin quippe (“indeed”), ultimately quid (“what”).

Used in a sentence

  • “Quips, and cranks, and wanton wiles.”
  • “He was full of joke and jest, / But all his merry quips are o'er.”
  • “He wrote it down, remembering a quip of Pym's, paraphrased from Clemenceau: "Military intelligence has as much to do with intelligence as military music has to do with music.””
