Comma-clipped trailing phrase

Sentence Structure

A short tail hung off a comma to close a sentence instead of landing the point directly. Either a clipped clause finishing the thought sideways or sometimes it's a bare noun or short phrase tacked on as an afterthought. Increasingly common.

Examples
