Today’s Totally Random
Lines
So-ho, so-ho!
Launce
Two Gentlemen of Verona Act III, Scene i, Line 190
Yes, that’s Today’s Totally Random Line, So-ho, so-ho! Proteus and Launce enter, the former tells the latter to go and seek out Valentine, and the latter exclaims So-ho, so-ho. I imagine seeing Launce pointing as he says this line, since Valentine is already on stage having just finished a short soliloquy. So-ho, so-ho, there he is!
So-ho, so-ho is nothing more than an expression, an exclamation. I
wonder if there’s any chance I’ll remember this one so that I can use it
sometime. That would take some serious effort. So-ho, so-ho. I’m
repeating it here in an attempt to ingrain into my memory. Perhaps I could sing
it. So-ho, so-ho, it’s off to work we go.
I
don’t think I could use Hi-ho as an exclamation. Or could I?
Realistically, you can use just about anything as an exclamation.
Gutterspouts, gutterspouts! There he is!
See, that works.
So-ho, gutterspouts!

What an odd exclamation to choose. I wonder if people in Shakespeare's time went around saying "So-ho!"
