I am pretty sure it's not repertoire.

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

That word would be repartee. (Since it's French, I've sometimes seen it spelled with an accented e, repartée, even though it's not necessarily supposed to have one.) |
