In case I'm discussing forgotten history, Tom Swift was a fictional boy inventor from my Dad's youth. I have a few of his books, and read them when I was young. The author wrote dialog and usually used adverbs to describe how the person was speaking. For almost every line of dialog. A year or so after I read them, someone came up with the idea of Tom Swifties. a gag where you made up a line of dialog and then used an adverb that made the whole thing funny.
For example:
"I dropped a desk on my foot," Tom said woodenly. (i just made that up)
Back then, I made up this one:
"I lost my toothpaste," Tom said crestfallenly.
Maybe between using alternate words for said, and the humorous context, we can make up a whole new use of humor (she expostulated wildly) lol
I bookmarked the link. Thank you.
