TV remote is a “splodger” in our house. Don’t ask me why.

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’m sorry, colossalhorse, but the OP is asking for non-describing nouns.

You’re right, he is. I’ve let everyone down.

Sorry guys.
