nonsense words
What nonsense word do you use when you know the name of an object but can’t think of it at the moment? (and is there a word that specifically refers to such nonsense words?)
so far, I have:
thingy, thingamabob, thingamabobber, thingamajig, thingamajiggy, thingamajigit
whatsit, whatchamacalit, whosit
doodad, doodaddy, doodadder, doohickey,
dealie, dealibob, dealibobber
also, do you have a specific nonsense word you use just to refer to a name you can't remember? especially besides "whosit" ex: Mr. Thingamabell
