(In the Verizon commercials, the pause after "Can you hear me now?" is
followed by "Good.")

{chuH} has the target as its object, and I'm pretty sure it applies
literally only to throwing spears. Perhaps {jaD} would be a better
verb.

Oh. Maybe find a way to use {vo'} instead...or perhaps even {wob},
with the spoon in the role of a {chetvI'}.

I wouldn't use {vabDot} this way based on the {vabDot tera' Qejbogh}
sentence. We definitely need another example or six of its use in
context. Is it an adverbial leftover that applies to the verb? Is it
an oddball noun that has no direct English equivalent? Is it something
entirely unexpected?
