You have to know Gabor.
Say the above sentence in the voice of John Byner, Richard Lewis or Fran Drescher you will understand what he is saying.
It is all in the emphasis:
Here is the classic example from Leo Rosten
The problem is whether to attend a concert being given by a niece.
The same sentence is put through the following paces, depending on emphasis:
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--meaning:, "After what she did to me?"
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--meaning: "What, you're giving me a lesson in ethics?"
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--meaning: I wouldn't go even if she were giving out free passes!
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--meaning: I'm having enough trouble deciding whether it's worth one.
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--She should be giving out free passes, or the hall will be empty.
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--Did she buy tickets to our daughter's recital?
- I should buy two tickets for her concert?--You mean, they call what she does a "concert"?
Thanks, but I need a plugin for such basic thing? -- Meaning : I do not need it.
Cheers :)
