More on dry wit

More on dry wit Written by Donna H (5/3/2007 10:34 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Dry wit defined..., penned by Donna H

However, in researching this further, m-w dot com (Merriam-Webster's Dictionary) describes dry wit as:

"marked by matter-of-fact, ironic, or terse manner of expression"

This does seem more applicable to Darcy's manner.
