Tom Swifties are phrases or sentences that end with a pun. Good grief, that explains
nothing. Best to look at these examples:
- “This food tastes of Plutonium,” Tom said glowingly.
- “I’m dying,” Tom croaked.
- “I’m losing my hair,” Tom Bawled.
- “My garden needs another layer of mulch,” Tom repeated.
- “I have a split personality,” said Tom, being frank.
- “I think I have broken my leg,” Tom said lamely.
- “I know which herb would to use on these potatoes,” Tom said sagely.
- “I do not like this Zinfindel,” Tom whined.
- “I love these hot dogs!” Tom said with relish.
