Filler items

English to Persian (Farsi) Other Education / Pedagogy translation
we are all familiar with so-called Tom Swifties from The New Yorker ,whose filler items often gleefully ridiculed the stilted speech characteristic of the Tom Swift Books.

Fillers are short written pieces used to fill space in a publication. They average about 100 words or less but can be longer if the topic supports it. While fillers are typically used in print publication, informational websites use them, too.

“Tom Swifties” are curious puns that monkey with the description of reported speech for comic effect. For example:

“I manufacture table tops,” said Tom counterproductively.
“Let’s have a debate about cows,” Tom mooted.
“Who discovered radium?” asked Marie curiously.
“Just parsley, sage and rosemary,” said Tom timelessly.
“This sea-spray will ruin all the metal-work,” said Tom mistrustfully
“I can’t tell you how much it resembles a table,” said Tom veritably.
“Show no mercy killing the vampire,” said Tom painstakingly.
“It keeps my hair in place,” said Alice with abandon.
