I thought the whole point of The "Ottoman Empire, full of furniture for some reason." was that it was full of ottoman couches.
Quite so. And that was an easy one for me since we call that type of couch an "ottomana"
I would have thought that was fuel from Heaven for Perry's ottomobile when he was wandering in the desert ...
Good one!

Actually mana was the first written reference to "what-you-ma-callit". When it came down the Israelites said "man who" (מן הוא), or "what is it" and from that point on it became "man" (what), or contextually "what-you-ma-callit".

What-you-ma-callit from heaven just doesn't have the same ring to it...
