"What on earth is going on in this thread?" queried May, confusedly.

Are Swifties strictly a US thing?

SubaruStephen · « **Reply #52 on:** 13 Jul 2015, 20:59 »

Pretty much, yeah.
It's also generational since Tom Swift as a literary character is almost forgotten now in the U.S., almost nobody under the age of 50 knows of him.

The only reason I know of him is because I read the entire Young Adult section in a very outdated small town library when I was a kid, they had (almost) the entire Tom Swift Jr. series, which I ate up like popcorn.

"I have the right to defend myself!", Tom shot back. <-- I'm not sure if this one fits the rules.

"I will make the incision here.", Tom said cuttingly.

"There is no moon tonight.", said Tom darkly.

"I think ED has weakened my sense of humor," ejaculated old Tom, seminally. "It gets limper by the year."

"But I want MORE ferment grape!" Tom whined.

"The flood washed away my bobsled track", said Tom, deluged.

Akima · « **Reply #67 on:** 31 Jan 2018, 00:59 »

Bonus points for the pun, but that's a slippery slope...

"I don't know if these plants are poison ivy but I will run through them anyway!", said Tom, rashly.

"I'm so glad those metal bars kept me from falling into the storm drain", said Tom, gratefully.

I just searched and it looks like this thread does not yet include the ultimate, perfect, Swiftie. The original Tom Swift was always building something.

"I'm building my own starship", said Tom, enterprisingly.
