Summit-County comma

Named for the County in Ohio in which this particular ailment seems to be common.

A comma placed at a ludicrous position in a sentence, but specifically when placed directly after the subject and before the verb.

"The bright blue car, stopped at the stop light." is a sentence containing the Summit-County comma.

Up top comma

In the educated community, an "up top comma" is known as an apostrophe!!!

I am naming my baby "Honesty" and it is spelled like H-O-"up top comma"-N-A-S-T-Y. (Ho'nasty)

‘specialist’, in inverted commas

a, colloquially, ‘shrink’

Half a year rolled around, and, the friendly, nice, practically useless ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, telephones, asking what’s been happening?

I do NOT respect your vocation yet.

Just tell the ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, paraphrase, ‘I respect your vocations of guitar, and tennis’ yet I do NOT really necessarily respect your vocation, of ‘specialist’, in inverted commas. Sigmund ‘Fraud’ practitioners (the operative word) are like parasites, being fair to parasites.
