"Snagglepuss has three signature catchphrases. His most famous is his perpetual exclamation, "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" – a line first uttered by Bert Lahr in the film Meet the People (1944).[1] Before dashing off (whether to escape or for some other reason), he exclaims "Exit, stage left!" (or stage right, and sometimes even up or down), a phrase used in theatrical stage directions. Finally, Snagglepuss tends to add the word "even" to the end of his statements. This is done in a number of different ways:
After emphasizing a previous statement ("Somebody hurt! In dire pain, even!").
After stating a synonymous phrase ("On account of I must be a little rusty. Stale, even").
In a grammatically correct way, though out of order in the sentence ("I wonder if he knows my telephone number, even").
Simply added as an exclamation ("Heavens to Murgatroyd! A veritabububble frankenmouse monster, even!")
