Bons mots are witty and clever remarks or sayings. They can be divided into three categories: jests, epigrams, and QUIPS. Jests are humorous remarks that are often lighthearted and meant to make people laugh. Epigrams are short, pointed sayings that often contain a moral or lesson. QUIPS are clever remarks that are usually sarcastic or ironic in nature. All of these types of bons mots are used to entertain and amuse people.
