“Pay no attention to those little bugs,” Tom said ignorantly.

“This isn't a poem, it’s just a jingle trying to sell me something,” Tom said adversely.

“My frisbee got stuck on top of that circus building,” Tom said discontently.
“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,
and the other kind,
’ and those who
don’t
say. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs

"This antique shop sells some rather unusual items," said Tom curiously.

"Come on, please, you have to beat Nepomniachtchi in this World Chess Championship play-off!" said Tom pleadingly.

“We should call out to that evergreen tree,” Tom opined.

"I've done so badly at my exams!" Tom said degradingly.

"I keep my savings under my mattress," Tom said without interest.

"Cashing out my shares at their peak was a really stupid decision," Tom seldomly said.

“Hey, you gave the world ‘Illmatic.’ I’ll always have your back,” Tom said nasally.

"I've set a record for weeks at Number 1 in the Billboard Album charts as a solo artist!" said Taylor swiftly.

"I still like to listen to my Taylor Swift albums on CD rather than Spotify," said one of her fans, disconcertingly.

"Ugh, why would you even ask that?" Mindy Kaling replied, disgustedly

"I think that's... practically the one ya know,
