Tell me please.Adam's apple is the term for the lump of cartilage protruding from a man's throat which 'bobs' up and down when he swallows, etc. - the voice box or the larynx (or as Marc likes to call it, the larnyx! - Sorry Marc, couldn't pass that one up! not with that set-up )
Now I reached page 174, and I read one lines, but I couldn't understand.
What is Charlie's "Adam's apple bob"? I searched the words in my dictionary, but I couldn't find out the word's meaning.

What does that mean? :confused:

AARP is the Association for the Advancement of Retired People, an association of people to promote the welfare of senior citizens. (I think this is what you mean, because I can't find AAPR.)
If you have trouble with some of these initials, try checking www.dictionary.com. You will probably be able to find it there.
