  • Yes, please is an "adverb" in such contexts, according to the full OED. But so is there (which they specifically say is a demonstrative adverb).

This question has been asked here. The short answer is "it's complicated." But you should understand that there is no limit to the numbers of adverbs used to modify a verb. Thus, the idea that something is "the adverb" in a sentence does not make sense. Both "please" and "there" can be adverbs, and additional adverbs like "quickly" or "quietly" could be added as well.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
