episode 615: 615 - Humor with Adverbs. Noisome. Receipts. Case Quarters.


This week, we talk about how adverbs can be squishy in what they modify and how that can lead to funny double meanings, about the difference between "noisy" and "noisome," about why people say they "have the receipts," and about the meaning and origin of "case quarter."
