I am writing a humor essay that begins:
"Put that over there," she says.
Would "a room full of thats and theres" work in this context?
Since I am standing in a room full of both thats and theres, I am unsure what she means.
In this humorous context, what is the plural of that and there?

but that's very awkward; I like your choice better.
