Speaking of "sneer" quotes -- In a diner, my husband and I once saw a festive handmade sign posted, on which was written the following message: "Happy" "Birthday" "Edna" We have enjoyed that sign for years, thinking about what it evidently meant. Our translation is roughly like this: Yeah, Edna, sure we wish you a HAPPY birthday, sure, like you deserve it, and BIRTHDAY, Edna?, you think we believe it's your birthday, hah, and as for you being EDNA? Give me a break, Louise.
