Ahem, they obviously don't look as good (said under his breath) Explanation: The speaker coughs before the phrase as if to say " I mean, they don't look as good". The cough indicates that the speaker is saying this under his breath and not openly. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2017-10-12 08:31:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's a sarcastic comment that indicates that we all know they don't look as good in real life but we don't say so openly. |
