thingamies or thingies for short are a form of doohickey or doodad. all come under the generic heading of whatchamacallits. sometimes alternatively spelled as thingummy. had a friend that had a real nice doohicky rabbernacker. very useful it was too. we never figured out useful for what tho or what you were doing if you were rabbernacking.

Possibly a dumaflache; personally, I question the spelling, and prefer doomaflatchie. but what do I know?
