OK...what is a "thingy"
Myself | Myself

Posted on 11/02/2007 12:55:00 PM PDT by Hotdog

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...

It’s the opposite of unthingy.

It’s the opposite of unthingy.

Not to be confused with anti-thingy

You don’t know what a thingy is, and yet, you call yourself an engineer?

According to Wiki:

Thingy was an indie rock band formed after the dissolution of Heavy Vegetable in 1995 by Heavy Vegetable veterans Rob Crow and Eléa Tenuta.

I prefer thingamabob.
