About twenty or thirty year ago, I used to watch the smoking cigarette's advertisement commercial on TV. A cool guy with sun glasses riding on the Harley Davidson comes to a gas station, and begins to smoke a cigarette with style.
Then the narrator says "Speak Lark". I saw that CM in Japan.
What is the meaning of it?
For example, "Speak English!" means I think that "your speech is very bad, and doesn't make sense, so please speak more clearly."
Using the same logic,
"Speak Lark!" means that "It is unclear which brand of cigarette you would choose, and it is wrong thing. Please choose Lark without hesitation!"
Am I on the right track?
