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”.
