I always know what I’m talking about so I don’t think I use one very often.
My Dad went through a phase of saying ‘where’s the doobrey-fargin?’
I’m pretty sure that’s just him.

Doofah for the TV remote
Billet-doux used to be a common one. You don’t hear that much these days.
ding-dong
Device.
TV remote is a “splodger” in our house. Don’t ask me why.

Doofah for the remote here as well. I had no idea this was common as I am sure I heard someone else use it…
Whajamacallit
“The old whatsitschops”
“houjima-boujima”
Dealy, or sucka.
Fucker
“Where’s the fucker?”
“I’ve lost the fucking fucker”
etc.
I’ve started asking for the (something)ymajig of late. For example if I can’t find the tin opener, “where’s the openymajig?” Scissors: “where’s the cuttymajig?” TV remote: “changeymajig.” I also do an overexaggerated mime while saying it so as to help the gf understand what I’m saying.
She hates it. I hate it. But for some reason I can’t stop doing it.
I like it, if that’s any consolation
