I was hoping someone would mention this.

I have very clear memories of a gemara in which an amora (or maybe a tanna) was quoted as saying "Elo-him!" in a context which I was unable to tranlate in any manner other than as a meaningless exclamation. The gemara spelled that name with the usual five letters, and no fancy abbreviation marks. I've mean meaning to ask about it for many years, but unfortunately I've forgotten where it appeared. Does this ring a bell in anyone's memory? Anyone know where it appears?

Thanks
