1) the remote control
and
2) something you dont know/can't think of the name of?
got this idea from.....um.....lets just say a.n. other forum, where the OP was trying to find out what something was, and amongst all the helpful answers people were throwing in their own ideas.
in out house the remote is called 'the buttons'
as in 'oi wheres the buttons now......try down the back of the settee'
and if we dont know the name of something its a thingymajiggy wotsit, or a doodah
Mr B has been known to refer to an unknown thingy as a 'dooberry firkin' too :shock:
Its called the twit and something you can't remember is the oojamaflip & togglebollocks.
Its called J.
Because that is my sons nickname and you can guarantee that the remote is where ever he is, unless he has hidden it in the dogs bed/behind the couch/under the cushions/in the clutter box/in his PE/swim bag
That thing is called "that thing, you know, the thing, THAT thing"
what's up with the err.. err, you know ahh, um...thing...
