There’s an early comic where Stuart is berating someone about maintaining the dress code, and the employee wishes they could implement a dress code for customers. One of the customers pictured is a super-skinny woman in an aerobic onesie. I’m guessing that’s her.
Does “crazy” modify “hat” or “girl.” How does one diagram a sentence where one adjective modifies two different nouns in the same phrase? I’ll have to think about that one, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Junction Grammar deal with that eventuality.
She’s a crazy lady with zany hats. It can modify either or both – but this is the kind of fascinating linguistic “problem” that you can dissect for hours. (I remember enjoying writing that paper on the use of existential “any” a decade ago)
We never see “Spandex Girl,” do we?
We may have seen her but I don’t think anyone was ever identified as her. “Bad Breath Guy” either now I think of it…
oh i think we met “Bad Breath Guy” he was just not named in his appearance
