“Thingy” is a technical term in PERL. Its even in the camel book.

OK, I’m from the Pittsburgh, PA area, and I have heard the use of “thingy” all of my life. I’ve also heard doo-hickey and thingamajig used interchangably with thingy.

Being an engineer, you should instruct her to use the more technical term “doohickey”............”dooflatchey” is also acceptable.....

In Monty Python sketches it is a euphemism for “sexual congress.”

I’ve noticed the increased use of the word “thingy” with the onset of senility and/or dementia.

My esthetic and pure grammatical nature prefers "thingamajig", but I slip every once in a while and use "thingy".
