[lit-ideas] Happy Boxing Day!

From the soundtrack of "Elf"
Baby, Itâ??s Cold  Outside
(Frank Loesser) 
From  â??Neptuneâ??s Daughterâ??(MGM, 1948)  â??
with Esther Williams,  Ricardo Montalban, Red Skelton, and Mel  Blanc.
 
There's bound to be talk tomorrow,- Making my life long sorrow 
At least there will be plenty implied -  If you caught pneumonia and died.  
I really can't stay - Get over that old out 
OH, BUT ITâ??S COLD OUTSIDE! 
 
Note the pre-Gricean use of 'plenty  implied' (qua conversational 
implicature).
 
Cheers,
 
JL
