   • The heritors, meanwhile, for ht most part attended public worship in a neighbouring dissenting meeting-house, which Dr. Fleming, who was a keen wit, had satirically called “the Jawhole,” as being a sort of receptacle for the refuse of his congregation. […] “Poor thing, what a pity it is they did not send ye down the road to gabble with kindred cattle in the Jawhole; but I daresay,” he continued, “it is perhaps as well as that when they have not the grace to show their own faces here, they should at least send a suitable proxy.” 1910, MacDonald, Hugh, Rambles Round Glasgow Descriptive Historical & Traditional, page 212:
   • “Don't get your man panties in a twist there, Pretty Boy,” he said, satirically pursing up his lips. 2014, Vance Munraff, Sounds Like Paradise:
