thingamabob
/ˈθɪŋəməbɒb
/(also thingumabob, thingamajig, or thingumajig /ˈθɪŋəmədʒɪɡ/)
noun
Another term for thingummy.I'm not altogether sure what happened to these pellets - I assume they got shipped out elsewhere and turned in to all manner of plastic thingamabobs, doobries and wotsits - but that didn't really matter....
- A bit of a favourite of mine from the 1910s is ‘oojiboo’, which meant a thingumajig, a whatsits name, something you can't remember the name of.
- How do these self-heating stick-on thingumajigs compare to the good old hot water bottle?
