minus-squareimaqtpie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 年前TIL about Tom Swifty jokes. It’s like a pun on steroids. Brilliant!
minus-squareArtyom@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前I’m gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I’m super confused.
minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 年前It’s a type of joke where the spoken line relates to the described manner of speaking, usually in a pun, eg. “Salmon is just the best,” Tom said superficially. The adverb “superficially” sounds like “super fish”, which describes Tom’s attitude towards salmon.
