Handley's scatty secretary was planned as an Italian equivalent of Funf, but "his chronic mismanagement of the English tongue proved too endearing and he remained at Handley's side as a well-loved language joke".{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=37}} His incurable tendency to [[malapropism]]s caused him to address a female character: "Ah, you attract me like a maggot! Let me cuss you on both cheeks".{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=37}} His verbal infelicities became infectious and regularly caused Handley's character to trip over his words:

:'''Handley''': Now, So-So, you are an architect, aren't you?
:'''So-So''': Oh yes, Mr Hagglemuch. I am an unqualified artichoke. I have built many sky-scrappers, and bolks of falts.
:'''Handley''': Bolks of falts?
:'''So-So''': Yes—luxury falts.
:'''Handley''': Now listen, you leaning tower of Pisa, you can say bolks of falts as easy as I can.
:'''So-So''': You mean blocks of flats. I have also built a villain in the country.
:'''Handley''': A villain?
:'''So-So''': Yes, a semi-detached villain. ... Come this way. This is your office. I will finish it.
:'''Handley''': Listen, So-So, leave the finishing—er—furnishing of this to me. Any more of your basic English and I'd go mad.
:'''So-So''': Oka-da-doke.{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=74}}
