Special effects and stunts, sentence 4

People say it their own way: in Britain "that's so jokes" means really funny, "mad money" is a huge amount of money, and "don't you dare" from a mum means a firm no.

Who acts: People, that, jokes, mad money, you · What happens: say, be, mean, not dare · To what, where: cup, jokes, huge amount, firm no. · Speech: someone speaks here
