I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Oh, I wish y’all could hand me that dealywhopper over there. I can’t quite reach it.
Sweetie: What’s a dealywhopper? Can I eat it?
Me: It’s that…thing there.
MoonCat: Meow. Is it tunafish? I’ll get it if it’s tunafish.
Me: No, it’s that thingamajig on the floor over there.
Doodlebug: What is she talking about?
Sweetie: A dealywhopper. It’s important, but you can’t eat it.
Doodlebug: It must not really be all that important then.
MoonCat: It’s not tunafish so…never mind.
Sweetie: Why doesn’t she just say what it is?
Doodlebug: She did. It’s a dealywhopper.
Sweetie: Must be some new human invention. Have you noticed how humans are always coming up with new stuff and new things to call the stuff? They are so weird.
Doodlebug: Yes, I have noticed that.
