What the Dickens?

Dickens is a euphemism for "devil". From Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor",(Act III, Scene II).
"I cannot tell what the dickens his name is".

(NOT from Charles Dickens.)

The dickens, you say!?!

This is an expression typically used in place of "you're kidding me", "you're joshing me". However, I do not know the origin of the expression. I think it may have something to do with Charles Dickens

LARRY: Charleston is 100 years older than Savannah!

TIM: The dickens, you say!?!

Charles Dickens effect

1. the tendency to write abnormally long sentences with heavy punctuation after reading a novel by Charles Dickens

2. the tendency to write or speak in a way similar to how the narrator or characters wrote or spoke in a piece of entertainment you recently experienced

if you'd rather not read a long and rambling novel, you can usually experience the Charles Dickens effect by watching Gilmore Girls: after watching it, you may find that you have the abnormal ability of speaking inhumanly fast and dishing out comebacks so witty and tactful that they should be against the law.

Charles Dickens

Rap word for penis, used when it's useful for rhyming. Rarely used.

"I spit on your grave, then I grab my Charles Dickens... bitch."
