But why in God\'s name would he even be saying \
to:
But why in God\\\'s name would he even be saying \\\"Erotica\\\"? It makes no sense whatsoever! And there\\\'s still that slight pause between the \\\"e\\\" and the \\\"rotica\\\" that sounds to me more like \\\"eh\\\" or \\\"uh\\\". Again, he was searching for the right word to say and came up short. It doesn\\\'t matter if it\\\'s not a word. People will make up appropriate-sounding words if they can\\\'t think of the real one. That\\\'s how tropes like BuffySpeak came to exist!

EDIT: And before anyone asks how \\\"rotica\\\" sounds appropriate, imagine it as a butchered \\\"robotic\\\" or a mix of that word and \\\"animatronic\\\" with an \\\"a\\\" at the end. Makes more sense to me, at least.
