	MrPedantic  #214978  Thu, 13 Apr 06 02:14 PM Hello Anon If you can't remember the word for an object, you can call it a "thingy ma-jig". It's quite a mild term. If you want to present yourself as a hard-nosed, assertive, no-nonsense, business-like kind of person, you might do well to avoid it.

	Anonymous  #214986  Thu, 13 Apr 06 02:46 PM I've always heard it as "thing-a-ma-jig"  not thingy...  -  "a thingy"   can be used on it's own, and is even more coloquial (less formal) than thing-a-ma-jig.    Anonymous
