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...

Halfway between a gizmo and a doodad.

Thats called a phatch-a-motter. You use it with a bisco-fig-nut.

do they say “Thingy” in Texas?

It's pronounced "thangy" here.

I work in a home improvement store, and you wouldn't believe how many times we get customers who want the part that goes with their "thing".

Another good one is when they ask for a "standard" door or window.

If you’re a US Sinator, you may go to the airport restroom looking for a “thingie”
