n. 某某; 那東西(用以稱呼一時想不起名稱的人或東西)
=what-do-you-call-it
Bring me the whatchamacallit so I can loose this bolt. 把那東西拿給我,我要放松這個螺絲。
I forget what the thing I need is called, so I just call it a whatchamacallit. 哎,在這種情況下,不就像我們在中文里說的“那個叫什么來啦”?
LL: Exactly. But you cannot tell a shop clerk "I want to buy whatchamacallit". 那當然喲,要是你對店員說你想買那個叫什么來啦,他怎么知道你要什么呢?
