If you're a poet or writer who likes playing with nouns you might try to feed some of your text to the N+7 generator, which according to the site "involves replacing each noun in a text with the seventh one following it in a dictionary. (In French, it is also referred to as the 'S+7' procedure.) Here you can enter an English text and 15 alternative texts will be generated, from N+1, which replaces each noun with the next one in the dictionary, to N+15, which takes the 15th noun following."
I tried a classic bit of typing practice, and here are the results:
N+0: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
N+1: The quick brown foxglove jumped over the lazy dogcarts.
N+2: The quick brown foxhole jumped over the lazy dogfights.
N+3: The quick brown foxhound jumped over the lazy doggies.
N+4: The quick brown foyer jumped over the lazy doggies.
N+5: The quick brown fraction jumped over the lazy doglegs.
N+6: The quick brown fracture jumped over the lazy dogmas.
N+7: The quick brown fragment jumped over the lazy do-gooders.
N+8: The quick brown fragrance jumped over the lazy dogsbodies.
N+9: The quick brown frail jumped over the lazy doilies.
N+10: The quick brown frailty jumped over the lazy doles.
N+11: The quick brown frame jumped over the lazy dolls.
N+12: The quick brown frame-up jumped over the lazy dollars.
N+13: The quick brown framework jumped over the lazy dollops.
N+14: The quick brown franc jumped over the lazy dollies.
N+15: The quick brown franchise jumped over the lazy dolphins.

The link is fun to play with, but I wanted to say, I haven't heard the word Whatsahoosit in forever! My mother always used it. What a hoot to see it in print now.
