The "it's got to have a name " Game Thread gave me an idea for another game.
What's your favorite word for something when you don't know the name?
Example: Doohickey

I really get upset when people misspell "thinggy"
other non-words I use frequently include
'gohoozis'
'left-handed wanggis'
'number six horizontal flange'

I use an awful lot of gibberish, especially at work, but I can't think of very much at the moment.

I no longer just shout out "Thinggy!" nearly as much as I used to after I realized that I might conceivably say it meaning anything from "this is really good ice cream!" to "my socks are on fire!"
