A Tom Swifty is a sentence ending in an adverb that tells how or when Tom said something and applies to the meaning of his statement.
Tom Swifties take their name from Tom Swift, a boy's adventure hero created by the prolific American writer Edward L. Stratemeyer. Under the pseudonym Victor Appleton, he published a series of books featuring the young Tom Swift. Tom Swift rarely passed a remark without a qualifying adverb.
In a true Tom Swifty, it is an adverb (word specifying the mode of action of the verb) that provides the pun, as in the following examples:
"My investments are worth more every day," said Tom appreciatively.
"I presented my case to the judge," Tom said briefly.
"I've joined the navy," Tom said fleetingly.
"This is the most common language used on micros," said Tom basically.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But frequently the pun occurs in the verb, and there may not be an adverb at all. Strictly speaking such puns are not Tom Swifties, but they are generally included in the term. Here are some examples:
"My garden needs another layer of mulch," Tom repeated.
"You must be my host," Tom guessed.
