I believe the answer is:

quip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'witty remark' is the definition.
(a quip is a witty remark)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for quip that I've seen before include "Gibe" , "Wisecrack" , "West African country" , "Quick witty remark" , "Witty or sarcastic remark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
