"See Sir Angus now," said Margray, bending forward at the pictures shifting through the door-way. "He'd do for the Colossus at what-you-may-call-it; and there's our Effie, she minds me of a yellow-bird, hanging on his arm and talking: I wonder if that's what my mother means, I wonder will my mother compass it. See Mary Strathsay there!
'Now, I am Chairwoman of Committees! cries Lady Tippins. 'And this, pursues the sprightly one, 'is a Committee of the whole House to what-you-may-call-it elicit, I suppose the voice of Society. The question before the Committee is, whether a young man of very fair family, good appearance, and some talent, makes a fool or a wise man of himself in marrying a female waterman, turned factory girl.
"Oh yes, it will," said Bingham, soothingly. "Oh no, it won't," returned Jane, permitting herself the luxury of a little woe. "Even if we do have wreaths of flowers in all the washbowls, and transoms that you can open and shut without getting on to chairs, and a what-you-may-call-it to regulate the furnace heat without going down cellar all the same, it won't be our dear old home."
Miss Bowyer she's a kind of a preacher as well as a doctor she says that God is good, and therefore he couldn't create evil. You see? Well, now, God created everything that is, so there can not be any evil. At least it can't have any real, independent what-you-may-call-it existence. You see, Charley?" "Yes; what of it?"

He was no what-you-may-call-it good as a pilot, shouted Marmaduke to the ruminative cow, and he intended to leave the blank R.F.C. for the Blanky Army Service Corps or the blankety Grave-diggers Corps. As a last resort, he would get a job as a double-blank Cabinet Minister, being no blank-blank good for anything else. The Brass Hats gazed and gazed and gazed.
As he saw that, she saw in his eye that her distrust was not without foundation. The idea! My dearest Edith, there is such an obvious destiny in it, that really one might almost be induced to cross one's arms upon one's frock, and say, like those wicked Turks, there is no What's-his-name but Thingummy, and What-you-may-call-it is his prophet!
Swing snarled, glaring at his friend. "What was the notion of tearin' off all them confidences about bein' busted and yore dear friends at the Bar S and how you and me was gonna play detective? And to think Providence lets a what-you-may-call-it like you go on living! It ain't reasonable."

'Yes, Herbert has got a fellowship; Ernest's up in residence still looking about for one. 'It's Ernest that would think my dress a piece of what-you-may-call-it? 'Yes, Ernest. 'Then I'm sure I shan't like him.
But Beltran would tell you that you haven't got any country. You may love your native State. As for country, it's nothing but a what-you-may-call-it." "Very true. It is in observing the terms of that what-you-may-call-it, that federation, that bond, in mutual concessions, in fraternal remembrances, that we gain a country. And what a country!" "Yes, what a country, Vivia!
"You know what I mean: the best people, the old families the people that have the real social position in this town and that know they've got it."
