    Are "Tom Swifties", hands down! They test your cleverness with manipulating the English Language!

    Example: "The auto accident resulted on no damage to my car!" said Tom unabashedly.

    With Swifties, you have to be clever enough to include the right adverb (unabashedly) to fit the subject (damage).

    "I've been dealt a 5-card flush!" said Tom wholeheartedly.
    "I've read all of Hemingway's novels." said Tom earnestly.
    "I'll take everything on my hot dog!" said Tom with relish.
    "I'm a field hand on a pineapple plantation." said Tom dolefully.
    "I should have gone to Officers Candidate School." muttered Tom privately.
    "Don't cut your fingernails too short!" said Tom quickly.
    "I love to quote Shakespeare while I polish my car!" said Tom, waxing eloquently.

    There you are, kids...lets see how clever YOU are with words!
