A motif I noticed in 4,000 miles was the word "whaddyacallit". This word was EXTREMELY over used and it fits the requirement to be a motif. Vera is one of the primary people that use this word whenever she tried to think of a word but couldn't get it out. Overall, I liked this play but that word was used many, many times.
I noticed this word but I never thought to identify it as a motif. I think that is a good call on your part to see it as a motif.
