In the sentence "Du hieltest es – in deinen besseren Momenten – mit den Stich- und Schlagwörtern, den pointierten Sprüchen, aber du hast gerne gelesen, Fantasyromane, die dicksten, die sich auftreiben ließen" I understand that he means that he hides his feelings (mentioned in the previous sentence) with those things, but I don't understand what those things are I look up the words online, but I can't find their translations :(.

What did you try looking up?
The meaning of the words: Stich, SChlagwörtern y Sprüchen in this context.
It's not Stich but Stichwörtern.
The - at the end of Stich- means that it's an unfinished word.
This is the plural though. You have to look up the singular.
Stichwort. Schlagwort. Spruch.
Thanks I am nota that good in German so I didn’t know
Stickwort is something like a slogan?
Hmmm, sorry, I don't really know the exact definitions. Maybe someone else can help out with that.
Stichwort/Stichwörter.
For example if you note down a couple words to remember what was taught in class those would be called Stichwörter
translated id say like Keyword
Schlagwörter are buzzwords
Thaaaanksss 🙂 in my translation I end up choosing keyword.
