And why does he talk so funny? Doesn't he mean squashed tomatoes?I don't think that they had tomatoes when he comes from, said Bod. And that's just how they talk then.

Summary

This quote implies a conversation between two individuals discussing a person who speaks in a peculiar manner. The questioner is puzzled by the strange language used, suggesting that the speaker meant 'squashed tomatoes' instead of whatever was said. In response, Bod speculates that the person may come from a time or place where tomatoes were not known, leading to a confusion in language. Furthermore, Bod suggests that the unconventional speech is merely a reflection of the way people used to communicate in that particular time or place.
