Highly technical terms...

...every crafter will be familiar with (or something similar, lol).

We all do it *eyebrows raised at those muttering "who me???"* we have words for things that we can't remember the names for, or just don't know...

Super words like - whatcha-ma-callit, thing-a-ma-bob, ooja-ma-flip, thing-a-ree - and so on...

For years I had a favourite - 'doo-dah' or sometimes 'doo-dad', then last year I was introduced to the delights of Quickutz and low & behold they have a number of dies that are called 'doo-dads' (various shapes with holes in the middle) well that spoiled my fun... hurumf.

I'm sure if you all stop to think for a while you can think of loads more examples, so why not share all those oojie-whatsits...they say that crafting has a language all of its own...................

Just plain old "thingy" and "whatsit" are my usual terms :D but occasionally I'll break into a "faloola-loola"
