You don’t “look terse” – terse means you use few words to get your meaning across
JoAnne, the error could easily be Trout’s, not Tony’s. Besides, it gets the point across.
Around here it’s a D. P. and a fried bologna sandwich.
I’ll bet Grandma wouldn’t sing that “If You’re Happy and You Know It” song
Not with her lips so tightly pursed, she wouldn’t.
(But with her mouth in a permanent pucker, maybe she’d whistle it…)
Mmmmm, pita chips and spinach/artichoke dip….
