  2. Good ones Jo-Anne. I have a friend who always says the first one because she can't think of the name of the 'thing'.
    Hate that when you type something and bang it disappears.

  4. Here it would be doohickey or thingamajig (or my shorter version--"thingie"). Lol! I hadn't heard of any of them but I find earbashing to be quite descriptive. ;)
