Answer

"Elly May" was a character on the American situation comedy "The Beverly Hillbilliies":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beverly_Hillbillies

"doohickey" (like "thingamajig" or "thingamabob") is an unsophisticted word to describe a contraption/machine you don't full understand. By calling "C" "Elly May", "P" is making fun of "C", saying that "C" sounds like a "hillbilly" or unsophisticated person talking about something like an iPad, I imagine.

Answer

Actually, it's a character: Elly May Clampett, from the TV series The Beverly Hillbillies.  Elly May is a country girl, so a little uneducated in the ways of the city.  "Doohickey" would be a typical country-person word for an invention or device.
