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 hotdog?”

Thingys have less mass than Dealys.

A “thingy” is a “shmingy.”

[GYPSY286]

another term for “whatchamacallit”

[cinives]

It depends ... a thingy can also be a gozinta or a gozouta, depending on its orientation.

”dooflatchey” is also acceptable.....”

Isn’t dooflatchey the socially unacceptable passing of
unknown gases?

A thingy ... also see 'thingey' and 'thingee' ... is a little more than a widget and not quite a dumaflatchee.

Hope that clears things up for ya!

My niece first started using this word thingy to describe scoring in a pro-football game. You see they score either running thingies or kicky thingies. Simple enough even engineers can understand that, right?

“Thingy”......you know.... it’s the same as a somethin-or-other.
