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

'witty repartee' is the definition.
'wordplay' can be an answer for 'repartee' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'witty' bit.

(Other definitions for wordplay that I've seen before include "Punning" , "Wit" , "verbal shenanigans" , "pun?" , "Making puns" .)
