Philos. 608 Suppose I say ‘There's a ‘drogulus’ over there,’ and you say ‘What?’ and I say ‘Drogulus,’ and you say ‘What's a drogulus?’ Well I say ‘I can't describe what a drogulus is, because it's not the sort of thing you can see or touch, it has no physical effects of any kind, but it's a disembodied being.’1959L.

Ayer, I inquired whether it perhaps might be a ‘drogulus’... He replied that it was undoubtedly a ‘drogulus’.
