Word of the Week - 69

THINGAMABOB

This week's word of the week is a noun. I absolutely love this word because it comes in handy when you can't remember the name of something and it sounds funny! It is especially used in informal spoken English when the name of an object has been forgotten.

I need one of those thingamabobs to tie my hair back with.

Have you got one of those thingamabobs to make melon balls?

You can also say thingamajig and it means exactly the same thing!
