About This Quote

This quote is a humorous and somewhat nonsensical continuation to an earlier conversation. The sentence structure begins with one person uttering a word and another repeating it, as if the first person had asked the second person a question. The repetition continues until the first person finally completes his or her sentence. The repetition is humorous because it makes it seem as if the speaker didn’t really want an answer to their question. While it’s not clear what “What ho!” means, it is clear that this is not a serious conversation.
