I'm an engineer and yes...I use a lot of duct tape but after 35 years of marriage my wife still translates items she can't put a name to as a "thingy". I've let this pass with a smile but have wondered how many people actually use this word (if it is a word) during everyday conversation...

A Thingy is the opposite of a Dinghy!

I often use "Chingaletta", which a Mexican forman I used to work for would use to call anything he couldn't name at the time.
It wasn't until about 6 years ago when I found out the true meaning of "chingaletta".
It means "F#$%ing thing".
Usage: "Hand me that chingaletta over there"

Well I know a “thingy” is different than the “you know” and the “Whatchamacallit”.
