What is a dohicky or a thingamajigger?

It makes me giggle when I'm helping my dad and he says had me that thingamajigger and there's like 20+ tools sitting there... I'm like ummmm ok and I always hand him the wrong thing... hee hee I think there should be a guide so I know what he's talking about

  • A thingamajinger is what you use to apply the hammer grease and a doo-hicky is what you attach the sky hook to.

  • I get frustrated with people who are working with tools but don't know the real names for them.

  • I can't work on too many projects next to my ol' man anymore.   He's gotten like that.   What I used to do that pissed him off, now he does and I have to correct him on what he taught me.   The funny part is now he calls me an a**hole when I can't decipher the gibberish.  LOL..Love the guy.

    If I want to turn a screw, the tool is a screwing device. For any other use, it is the all purpose tool.

  • Don't take offense if I bar you from ever stepping foot on any job.  Nothing personal.
