ANTIC TESS
Well, if you eschew CATTINESS, and precision in speech requires TACITNESS, you might end up with the SCANTIEST of answers.
and speaking of scantiest, that is a great quality in a NEGLIGEE

I was surprised to find out that the incident involving the death of Jan Masaryk when he was-pushed-or-fell out the window in 1948 was not just the Defenestration of Prague but in fact the _third_ Defenestration of prague. There was one in the 1600s and another in the 1400s!
