quippers
Those delivering zingers
Quippers are people who make quips—quick, witty remarks.
The word suggests habitual cleverness, people known for their sharp tongues or ready humor: The quippers in the writers' room kept the mood light.
It can carry a slightly dismissive tone, implying glibness over substance.
